Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Paula Sanchez #6555 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with fastest final kilometre Paula covered 5.00 km in 33:35, averaging 6:43/km. She placed 88th in the Female 4145 division, 1273rd female, and 3111th overall out of 5624. Her opening 2 km were steady at 6:38 and 6:49, reaching halfway in 16:47. The standout stat was her final kilometre: 6:23, her quickest of the race and 42 seconds faster than kilometre 3. After a slower middle stretch at 7:05 for kilometre 3, she regained rhythm with 6:43 in kilometre 4 before closing strongly. That late acceleration is a useful marker of control. As a coachs note, aiming to smooth the gap between kilometres 24 could help turn this solid finish into a quicker overall 5K.
