Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Adam Willis #2063 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Steady Finish for a Sub-29 5K Adam covered 5.00 km in 28:19, averaging 5:39/km. He opened quickly with a 5:23 first kilometre, then settled into 5:41, 5:48 and 5:51 before closing a little stronger at 5:38. That gave him a 28-second positive split from first to fourth kilometre, followed by his quickest running since the start in the final kilometre. In a field of 5,624, he finished 2,081st overall and 355th in the male 2630 division. The strongest statistical takeaway is the finishing response after the slowest segment, which suggests he still had some pace available late on. For the next 5K, aiming to bring kilometres 24 closer to the opening and closing pace could lower the overall time. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a solid, controlled effort.
