Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Thomas Farley #1915 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Then Pace Drift Over the Final 2km Thomas completed the 5K in 30:32, averaging 6:06/km. He placed 2,566th of 5,624 overall, 1,461st male, and 272nd in the mens 3135 division. His opening 1km was his quickest at 5:40, and he reached 2km in 11:37 at a 5:48/km average. From there, the pace gradually eased: 6:01 for kilometre 3, then 6:28 for both kilometres 4 and 5. That made the second half notably slower than the first 2km, after gaining places through 2km before settling back by 3km. As a coachs note, the best opportunity is pacing control after the opening kilometre: a slightly more measured start could help him hold closer to his early rhythm deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a fast start, and he capitalised on that early.
