Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Joe Kershaw #4484 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fastest final kilometre Joe ran 5.00 km in 24:25, averaging 4:53/km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 1,147th overall and 141st in the mens 3135 category. His race built well through each kilometre: 5:33, 5:01, 4:45, 4:46, then a quickest closing kilometre of 4:23. That progression was the key stat. He improved by 1:10/km from first to last kilometre and moved up 817 places overall from 1 km to the finish. The middle 3 km were especially steady, with kilometres 3 and 4 just one second apart. For a faster overall time next outing, opening a little closer to 5:105:15/km while keeping this strong finish could bring the average pace down further.
