Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Rebecca Futcher #5685 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a Strong Closing Kilometre Rebecca completed 5.00 km in 38:27, averaging 7:41/km. She placed 59th in the womens 5155 division and finished ahead of over 2,000 runners in a field of 5,624. Her opening kilometre was her quickest at 7:05, and she closed well with a final kilometre of 7:38 after covering the middle section between 7:51 and 8:00/km. This was a controlled run across the full distance, with only 55 seconds between her fastest and slowest kilometres. She also gained places early, moving from 3,607th at 1 km to 3,477th at 2 km. For future races, aiming to hold the middle kilometres a little closer to her finishing pace could bring down the overall average. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K suited a consistent effort like this.
