Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Stephen Hayes #3368 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a strong second kilometre Stephen covered 5.00 km in 29:57, averaging 5:59/km. He placed 204th of 3640 men, 1414th male, and 2443rd of 5624 overall. His fastest kilometre was km 2 in 5:40, and he improved from 2630th overall at 1 km to 2338th by 3 km, gaining nearly 300 places early. The pacing was fairly even after that move: 6:13, 5:40, 6:14, 5:51, 6:01 per km. That shows good control across the middle and a solid response in km 4 after the slower third kilometre. As a coachs note, the biggest opportunity is smoothing out km 1 to km 3; bringing the opening kilometre a little closer to overall pace could help reduce the mid-race fluctuation in a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf.
