Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Anya Culling #4186 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast finish and strong progression through the field Anya ran 5.00 km in 19:28, averaging 3:54/km. She placed 251st of 5,624 overall, 16th female, and 7th in the female 2630 division. That put her in roughly the top 4.5% of the field. A standout stat: she finished ahead of every male in the Beat The Boys matchup. Her pacing was very controlled early, with the first 2 km both at 4:00/km, then she picked up well: 3:58/km for both the 3rd and 4th km before closing in 3:33 for the final kilometre. She improved her overall place from 425th at 1 km to 251st at the finish, gaining 174 spots. That late acceleration was the key strength here; if she wants the next step, a slightly earlier move in the middle kilometres could bring the finish time down further.
