Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sophie Lavender #952 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Controlled pacing with a strong closing kilometre Sophie ran 5.00 km in 24:53, averaging 4:58/km. She placed 1,256th of 5,624 overall, 286th among women, and 87th in the female 1825 division. Her pacing was notably steady: 4:54, 5:04, 5:02, 5:00, and 4:55 per km, with just 10 seconds between fastest and slowest kilometres. She improved position through 4 km, moving from 1,317th overall at 1 km to 1,215th at 4 km, and from 311th to 270th among women over the same stretch. The final kilometre was one of her quickest at 4:55/km. That consistency suits a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf. For the next race, aiming to match the opening and closing pace more closely through kilometres 2 and 3 could trim a few more seconds.
