Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nikhil Sengupta #7938 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Km Set Up a Solid 5K Nikhil ran 5.00 km in 27:32, averaging 5:30/km. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 5:10/km, and he reached 2 km in 10:33 before settling into a steadier rhythm. He finished 219th in the M3135 division and was inside the top third overall, placing 1887th of 5624. The key stat is the 28-second gap between his first and fourth kilometres (5:10 to 5:46), showing how much the early pace influenced the middle of the race. His final three full kilometres were 5:38, 5:46, and 5:37, so he recovered well late and closed more evenly than the mid-race section suggests. For the next 5K, aiming to bring km 1 closer to overall pace could help him hold a more consistent effort across all 5 km.
