Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Elena Kozlova #948 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Elena completed the 5K in 31:27, averaging 6:17/km across 5.00 km. She placed 62nd in the Female 4145 division, 1040th female, and 2750th of 5624 overall. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 5:31/km, giving her a strong early position before settling into a steadier rhythm. Her kilometre splits were 5:31, 6:03, 6:36, 6:42, and 6:36. That shows a positive-split pattern, with the first 2 km covered in 11:34 and the final 3 km in 19:53. The consistency across the last 3 km is a useful base to build from. As a coachs note, aiming to hold the opening kilometre a little closer to average pace could help maintain momentum deeper into the race, especially in a quick evening 5K like Run The Wharf.
