Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Lucy Mclaughlan #7798 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Consistent 5K Pacing Lucy ran 5.00 km in 27:19, averaging 5:27/km. Her km splits were 5:42, 5:17, 5:30, 5:33, and 5:19, showing a quick response after the opening kilometre and a strong closing kilometre. She finished 526th of 2,718 women and 177th in the female 2630 division, placing her in the top third overall of 5,624 starters. The key stat is her second half: after 16:28 through 3 km, she covered the final 2 km in 10:51, slightly quicker than her opening 2 km of 10:58. That late lift is useful on a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf. As a coachs note, a slightly sharper first kilometre could help convert that strong finish into a lower overall time next time.
