Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Alex Connaghton #572 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening, Then Four Kilometres of Steady Control Alex covered 5.00 km in 21:37, averaging 4:19/km. He placed 547th of 5,624 overall, putting him in roughly the top 10% of the field, and 72nd in the male 1825 division. His first kilometre was his quickest at 4:07, followed by a very consistent run through the middle of the race. After that opening kilometre, his next four kilometres were tightly grouped at 4:26, 4:24, 4:22 and 4:20. He improved position through 4 km, moving from 569th at 1 km to 530th at 34 km before a small drop late on. That pattern suggests a strong start and then good pace control. For an even sharper 5K, aiming to spread the effort a little more evenly from the first kilometre could help him hold those gained places deeper into the finish.
