Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Amanda Dias-Jayasinghe #2404 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometres Set Up a Solid 5K Amanda covered 5.00 km in 37:18, averaging 7:27/km. Her quickest section came early: 1 km in 6:59, followed by a steady 7:05 for the second kilometre. She reached 2 km in 14:04 before settling into 7:47, 7:47 and 7:40 across the final 3 km. That gave her a second-half 3 km average of 7:45/km. In a field of 5,624, she was inside the top 63% overall. The strongest position came at 2 km, where she had moved up to 3,326 overall and 1,460 among women before giving back some places later. As a coachs note, the opening 2 km showed she had the speed for sub-7:05/km running; the next step is holding that pace deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs evening city-centre format makes that controlled pacing especially valuable.
