Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sofiane El Kouarati #7925 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Then Solidly Held for a 25:23 5K Sofiane ran 5.00 km in 25:23, averaging 5:04/km. He opened sharply with a 4:28 first kilometre, then reached 2 km in 9:21 and 3 km in 14:49. Through 4 km he was at 20:14, before closing in 25:23. He finished 1366th of 5624, placing in roughly the top 24% overall. Among men, he was 881st, and 252nd in the male 2630 division. The key stat is the early speed: that 4:28 opening kilometre was well ahead of his overall pace. After that, his middle kilometres settled at 4:54, 5:28 and 5:26, before a slightly quicker final kilometre at 5:10. That late lift is a good sign. For the next 5K, aiming for a more even first 2 km could help him hold more pace through the middle and finish closer to his opening speed.
