Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Terri Thorpe #2973 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Finish Over 5K Terri ran 5.00 km in 28:03, averaging 5:36/km. She placed 36th in the Female 4145 division, with a steady progression through the race: 5:44, 5:45, 5:43, 5:34, then 5:20 for the final kilometre. That closing kilometre was 24 seconds quicker than her opening kilometre, a clear negative split. She moved up well through 4 km, improving from 39th to 32nd in her division before finishing 36th overall in that category. The key stat is consistency early and acceleration late, showing controlled pacing and good finishing strength. As a coachs note, there may be scope to press a little earlier than 4 km, given how much speed she still had for the last kilometre. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road 5K format suited a strong, progressive run.
