Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Leah Melgaard #2692 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with progressively quicker kilometres Leah covered 5.00 km in 29:29, averaging 5:53/km. She opened at 5:56/km, then ran 6:04, 6:06, 5:52 and 5:33 for her five full kilometres. That gave her a clear negative finish, with her fastest running saved for the final 2 km and her quickest kilometre coming at the end. She finished 2353rd of 5624, placing inside the top 42% overall. Among women, she was 796th, and 251st in the womens 2630 division. A useful next step is aiming to hold the late-race pace closer to the middle kilometres, since 5:52/km and 5:33/km show there was strong speed available. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K suits that kind of controlled build well.
