Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Benjamin Epstein #735 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Consistent pacing with a strong closing kilometre Benjamin ran 5.00 km in 23:49, averaging 4:45/km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 1002nd overall and 84th in the mens 3640 division. His kilometre splits were tightly grouped at 4:44, 4:42, 4:56, 4:48, and 4:41, showing good control across the full distance. His quickest segment came in the final kilometre at 4:41/km, a strong way to finish, and he also moved up early with a faster second kilometre. The one softer patch was kilometre 3 at 4:56/km before he settled back into pace. That rebound is a good sign; smoothing out that mid-race dip could bring the overall average down further. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K suits this kind of steady pacing well.
