Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Mia Wang #6500 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Top-2% Finish Mia ran 5.00 km in 21:14, averaging 4:14/km. She finished 484th of 5,624 overall, placing her in the top 8.6% of the field, and 65th female, top 1.2% among women. In her F26-30 division, she was 24th. At a closed-road evening 5K like this, that is a sharp result. Her opening kilometre was quickest at 4:04, then 4:12, 4:21 and 4:28 before a solid rebound to 4:12 for the final kilometre. That finish shows good composure after the mid-race fade. From a coaching view, the main opportunity is pacing: a slightly more even spread across kilometres 1-4 could help convert the strong start and finish into a faster overall time.
