Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Callum Paton #6270 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with increasingly faster kilometre pacing Callum ran 5.00 km in 21:24, averaging 4:16/km. He finished 518th of 5,624, placing in the top 10% overall, and was 316th male. In his M26-30 division, he placed 102nd. This was a well-paced run at a fast evening 5K, with his position improving by 139 places from 1 km to the finish. His kilometre splits were 4:21, 4:19, 4:22, 4:17, and 4:07. That closing kilometre was his quickest by 14 seconds and shows strong finishing speed. From 3 km onward, he moved from 528th to 518th overall while lowering average pace from 4:20/km to 4:16/km. A useful next step would be aiming to bring km 3 closer to the pace of km 2 and km 4, which could make the overall effort even more even.
