Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Dan Hulbert #765 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a fast middle kilometre Dan covered 5.00km in 22:45, averaging 4:33/km. He placed 21st in the Male 4650 category, 487th male, and 766th overall out of 5,624. His fastest kilometre was km 4 in 4:19, and he improved his average pace from 4:43/km after 1km to 4:33/km by the finish. The pacing trend was encouraging: 4:43, 4:41, 4:32, 4:19, then 4:32 for the final kilometre. He moved up well through 3km, reaching 19th in his age group at both 3km and 4km before finishing 21st. That mid-race acceleration stands out, especially in a fast evening 5K built for quick running. For the next race, aiming to carry a little more of that km 4 pace into the last kilometre could trim the overall time further.
