Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Zakaria El Johari #6529 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled 5K Pacing Zakaria ran 5.00 km in 22:25, averaging 4:29/km. He placed 691st of 5,624 overall, 437th male, and 81st in the Male 3135 category. His pacing was steady across the race: 4:38, 4:27, 4:28, 4:33, and 4:21 per km, with the fastest kilometre coming at the end. A notable stat: he moved up from 952nd at 1 km to 691st by the finish, gaining 261 places overall. That progression suggests good control early and strong closing speed, especially through the final kilometre. The main opportunity is to bring km 1 closer to the pace he held from km 2 onward; a slightly quicker opening could trim more time while keeping this solid finish.
