Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Erim Hayretci #6236 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Strong Overall 5K Erim ran 5.00 km in 21:36, averaging 4:19/km. He finished 543rd of 5,624 overall, placing in the top 10% of the field, and was 71st in the male 1825 category. His quickest kilometre was the final one in 4:06, a strong closing effort after running the middle section at 4:19, 4:30 and 4:34. The pacing pattern showed an aggressive opening 2 km in 8:27 (4:13/km average), followed by a slowdown through kilometres 34 before a sharp rebound. That finishing speed is a very good sign. For the next race, aim to carry a little more control through the middle kilometres to better match the strong start and excellent final km. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road 5K format suited that late push well.
