Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Laura Humphreys #2533 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Solid Close for a 26:06 5K Laura ran 5.0 km in 26:06, averaging 5:13/km. She opened quickly with a 4:51 first kilometre, then settled into 5:12, 5:20, 5:34, and 5:11. That final kilometre was a good response after the slower fourth, showing she could re-accelerate late and finish with control. In a field of 5,624, she placed 1,543rd overall, 405th female, and 144th in the female 2630 division. The key stat is the spread between fastest and slowest full kilometres: 43 seconds, with four of five kilometres at 5:20/km or quicker. For the next race, aiming for a slightly more even pace after the strong opening could help convert that early speed into a faster overall timewell suited to a quick evening 5K like Run The Wharf.
