Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris Chalder #559 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a strong opening 2km Chris ran 5.00km in 23:36, averaging 4:43/km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 955th overall, 622nd male, and 125th in the male 1825 division. His first 2km were particularly sharp and consistent at 4:36/km and 4:37/km, reaching 2km in 9:12. From 2km onward, pace shifted to 4:52/km for the third kilometre, then recovered well to 4:42/km in the fourth before closing with another 4:52/km. That pattern suggests a solid base pace with a brief mid-race response and a competitive opening section. For the next outing, the key focus is holding the early 4:364:37/km rhythm deeper into the race, especially across kilometres 3 and 5. Run The Wharfs fast evening 5K format suited that quick start well.
