Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Rachel Watts #2160 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a Strong Mid-Race Position Gain Rachel covered 5.00 km in 29:52, averaging 5:58/km at Run The Wharf. She placed 2,427th of 5,624 overall, 844th female, and 183rd in the female 3135 category. Her fastest kilometre was km 2 in 5:50, and she reached her best race position at 2 km, moving up to 2,285th overall after opening with a controlled 5:55 first kilometre. The pacing spread was tight, with all 5 kilometres between 5:50/km and 6:09/km. After the strong start through 2 km, km 3 and 4 eased slightly to 6:06 and 6:09, before she finished with a quicker 5:54 final kilometre. That closing response is a good sign; the next step is to hold the km 2 rhythm a little deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road format suited a consistent effort like this.
