Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Liv Ayres #3156 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Finish Liv covered 5.00 km in 31:50, averaging 6:22/km. She placed 2825th of 5624 overall, 1086th female, and 336th in the female 2630 division. Her pacing was very steady through 3 km: 6:40, 6:33, and 6:35 per km, then she picked up well over the second half. The key stat was the finish: 4th km in 6:22/km, then a quickest final kilometre of 5:43/km. That brought her average pace down by 18 seconds per km from the opening kilometre to the full-race average, a clear negative split profile. She also improved her overall position from 3148th at 1 km to 2825th at the line. As a coachs note, the finishing speed suggests she could aim to bring that 6:22/km rhythm in a little earlier next time in a fast evening 5K setting like Run The Wharf.
