Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Natalie Welsh #1556 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast opening 2K, strong rebound in the final kilometre Natalie covered 5.00 km in 27:12, averaging 5:26/km. She placed 51st in the female 3640 division, 516th among women, and 1815th of 5624 overall. Her opening 2 km was her sharpest segment: 4:58 for the first kilometre, then 5:06, reaching 2 km in 10:04 at 5:02/km average. The middle of the race cost time, with kilometre 3 in 5:30 and kilometre 4 in 6:31 before she recovered well with a 5:08 final kilometre. That closing response stands out and suggests good composure late in the run. From a coaching perspective, the clearest gain would come from holding kilometre 34 closer to her early pace. On this fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that would make a meaningful difference to the final time.
