Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jon Edwards #3078 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Closing Kilometre He covered 5.00 km in 22:30, averaging 4:30/km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 709th overall, 449th male, and 63rd in the M3640 division. His pacing was notably controlled: 4:36, 4:33, 4:32, 4:34, then a quickest final kilometre of 4:18. That finish was the key stat of the race, gaining 232 places from 1 km to the line and 31 places in the last kilometre alone. The middle 3 km were especially steady, sitting within 2 seconds from 2 km through 4 km. For future races, a slightly quicker opening while keeping this same closing strength could move the overall time down further. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K format suited a fast, well-judged effort.
