Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: David Weldon #6207 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish secures age-group win with sub-3:45/km average David ran 5.0km in 18:40, averaging 3:44/km. He placed 1st in the Male 5155 division, 68th male, and 169th overall out of 5,624. That result combined a high placing within a large field with a clear category win. His pacing improved through the race: 3:52, 3:47, 3:42, 3:47, then 3:35 for the closing kilometre. He moved from 3rd to 1st in his age group by 2km and held that lead to the finish. The standout stat is the final kilometre, his fastest of the day, which lifted him 11 places overall late on. That closing speed suits a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf well; the main coaching takeaway is to keep working on matching that late-race rhythm a little earlier.
