Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Hannah Wait #2159 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Mid-Race Surge and Sub-6:00/km Finish Hannah covered 5.00 km in 30:02, averaging 6:00/km. She placed in the top 44% overall (2455 of 5624). Her pacing improved well through the first 3 km: 6:24, 6:01, then 5:43/km, which was her quickest kilometre. She then held that gain with 5:57 and 5:59/km to close. This was a clear negative split across the opening half of the race, and she moved up substantially by 3 km, gaining more than 500 overall places from 1 km to 3 km. The main opportunity is the opening kilometre: a slightly quicker but still controlled start could bring the overall average under 6:00/km next time. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K suited a steady build well, and she finished with consistent late-race pacing.
