Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Holly Bannerman #2229 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Finish Holly ran 5.00 km in 27:35, averaging 5:31/km at Run The Wharf. She placed 1900th of 5624 overall, 556th among women, and 111th in the female 3135 category. Within a large field, that put her in roughly the top 34% overall. Her pacing was well controlled and improved through the race: 5:46, 5:28, 5:36, 5:33, then 5:15 for the final kilometre. She moved up from 2233rd overall at 1 km to 1900th by the finish, gaining 333 places, and improved from 145th to 111th in her age group by 3 km, holding that position to the line. The closing kilometre was 31 seconds quicker than the first, a clear sign of strong finishing strength. Next step as a coachs note: aim to bring a little more of that final-kilometre pace into the opening 2 km.
