Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nakul Goyal #6713 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with progressive pacing He completed the 5K in 23:03, averaging 4:36/km. His pacing was well controlled across the race: 4:42, 4:45, 4:40, 4:39, then a fastest final kilometre of 4:19. That gave him a clear negative trend late on, cutting 23 seconds from first to last kilometre. He moved up steadily through the field, improving from 1082nd overall at 1km to 832nd at the finish, with the same pattern in his age group from 144th to 109th. That late gain stands out and suggests he finished with plenty of intent. For the next 5K, aim to bring a little more of that final-kilometre pace into the middle section while keeping the same control. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road format suited a fast, consistent effort here.
