Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jonathan Parker #3496 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Finish, One Mid-Race Dip Jonathan covered 5.00 km in 31:52, averaging 6:22/km. He finished 134th of 4145 men and 2833rd of 5624 overall, placing around the top half of the field. His opening 2 km were steady at 6:17 and 6:22, reaching 2 km in 12:38. Through 3 km, he was at 19:17, still averaging 6:25/km. The key stat was the contrast between a solid first 3 km and the 4th km at 11:22, before he closed the final full kilometre in 6:22/km pace overall. That rebound is a positive sign. For the next 5K, the main opportunity is to hold the 13 km rhythm deeper into the race, which would bring his finishing time down meaningfully. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road format suited a quick start, and he showed that early speed well.
