Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Shute #1478 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Controlled pacing with a fast closing kilometre James ran 5.00 km in 23:55, averaging 4:47/km. He placed 38th in the mens 4650 division and finished ahead of a large field, 1034th of 5624 overall. His pacing was steady through the first 4 km: 4:51, 4:50, 4:55, and 4:48 per km, keeping his average almost unchanged before a strong finish. The standout stat was the final kilometre in 4:33, comfortably his quickest of the race and 15 seconds faster than any earlier kilometre. He also improved position as the race went on, moving from 43rd to 37th in his division by 4 km before finishing 38th. That finishing speed suggests he judged the effort well; next time, pressing slightly earlier in the middle kilometres could bring the overall time down further on a fast evening 5K course.
