Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jennifer Small #5366 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Final Kilometer Jennifer covered 5.00 km in 29:50, averaging 5:58/km. She placed 842nd woman and 264th in the female 2630 category out of 5,624 finishers. Her pacing improved each kilometer: 6:14, 6:05, 6:03, 6:03, then a quickest final kilometer of 5:27. That finish stands out: she cut 47 seconds from her first kilometer to her last and moved up from 2,754th overall at 1 km to 2,424th at the finish. The steady progression suggests good control through the middle of the race and strong closing speed. As a coachs note, a slightly quicker opening kilometer could help unlock a faster overall 5K while keeping that same finishing strength.
