Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ross Taylor #6288 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre, Then Steady 5K Execution A 23:28 5K averages 4:41/km, with a strong first kilometre in 4:31. Through 5km, the pacing stayed controlled: 4:31, 4:41, 4:52, 4:47, 4:40. He finished 920th of 5,624, placing inside the top 17% overall, and was 112th in the male 3135 division. His best positional point came at 2km, where he had moved up to 864th overall. The key stat is the rebound over the final kilometre: after the slower middle section, he closed in 4:40, nearly matching his average pace. That suggests solid composure late in the race. For the next outing, a useful target would be holding the 2km rhythm deeper into kilometres 3 and 4, which could trim time without needing a faster start. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a quick, consistent effort.
