Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ekaterina Leksina #6541 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Fast Final Kilometre Ekaterina covered 5.0 km in 28:49, averaging 5:45/km. She finished 151st in the Female 1825 category and 703rd among women in a field of 5,624 overall. Her opening kilometre was 5:45, then she settled into two steady kilometres at 6:05/km before improving to 5:53/km in kilometre 4. The standout stat was her final kilometre: 5:04, easily her quickest of the race and 49 seconds faster than her average pace. She also moved up from 172nd to 151st in her age group across the race, with a strong gain late on. That closing speed is a good asset for a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf; the next step is to bring a little more of that final-kilometre pace into the middle section.
