Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Akmal Chunara #6308 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a fast closing kilometre Akmal ran 5.00 km in 25:36, averaging 5:07/km. He finished 175th in the M3135 division and inside the top 26% overall (1420th of 5624). His pacing improved each kilometre: 5:46, 5:12, 4:59, 4:58, then a quickest final kilometre of 4:43. That progression is the standout stat. He moved up 700 overall places from 2120th at 1 km to 1420th at the finish, and gained 65 places in his division from 240th to 175th. The last 3 km averaged 4:53/km, much quicker than the opening 2 km average of 5:29/km. For the next 5K, aiming for a slightly quicker first kilometre could unlock an even faster overall time while keeping this strong finish.
