Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Katie Mcneill #2687 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Closing Kilometre Katie completed the 5K in 29:32, averaging 5:54/km. She placed 800th of female finishers and 171st in the Female 3135 division, in a field of 5,624 overall. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 5:27, and she stayed under 6:00/km overall despite the middle-race slowdown. The pacing pattern was 5:27, 5:42, 6:10, 6:30, then a solid rebound to 5:46 for the final kilometre. That strong finish is a good sign of reserve late in the race. As a coachs note, smoothing out kilometres 3 and 4 would bring the overall time down quickly. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suits controlled early pacing, and this effort showed a strong opener and a composed finish.
