Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Valente Vidal #6056 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a strong opening kilometre Valente ran 5.00 km in 33:58, averaging 6:47/km. His fastest kilometre was the opener in 6:26, and he stayed close to pace after that with splits of 6:48, 7:11, 6:49, and 6:46. That gave him a solid rebound over the final 2 km, which were both quicker than kilometre 3. He finished 234th in the M36-40 division out of 5,624 total participants. This was a fairly even run overall, with just 45 seconds between his fastest and slowest full kilometres. As a coachs note, the key gain is in holding closer to early pace through the middle of the race; matching the steadier 6:46-6:49/km finish across more of the course would trim time. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K format suited a consistent effort like this well.
