Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Laila Abdelhady #2166 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Negative Split to Close Laila covered 5.00 km in 33:59, averaging 6:47/km. She placed 3169th of 5624 overall, 1314th female, and 406th in the female 2630 division. Her opening 4 km were steady at 6:51, 6:58, 7:08, and 6:50, showing good control before a decisive final kilometre. The standout stat was the close: 6:13 for the last kilometre, her fastest of the race by 37 seconds compared with her average pace and 55 seconds quicker than kilometre 3. She also moved up from 3409th overall at 1 km to 3169th at the finish. That late acceleration is a strong sign of preserved energy; the next step is to bring a little more of that intent into kilometres 23 while keeping the same finishing strength.
