Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Kate Hammond #2494 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish lifts overall 5K pacing Kate ran 5.00 km in 27:34, averaging 5:30/km. She placed 15th in the Female 5155 division, 552nd female, and 1896th overall out of 5624. That put her in the top 1% of her age group and roughly the top third overall. Racing in London, this closed-road evening 5K suited steady pacing and a fast final push. Her kilometre splits were 5:35, 5:27, 5:41, 5:32, and 5:21. The standout stat was the closing kilometre: 5:21, her quickest of the race, improving her division place from 21st at 1 km to 15th at the finish. The middle section dipped slightly at 3 km, but she regained momentum well over the final 2 km. As a coachs note, smoothing that 3rd kilometre closer to her 2nd and 4th could bring the overall average down further.
