Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Martin Traverse #6376 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening 4K, Then a Big Drop-Off Late Martin covered 5.00 km in 2:02:10 at 24:26/km. Through 4 km, though, he was moving very well: 4:43, 4:53, 5:15, and 5:18/km for a 20:07 4K average of 5:02/km. That early stretch had him as high as 1,075th overall at 1 km and 1,261st overall through 4 km, showing strong early positioning in a 5,624-runner field. The key stat is the contrast between the first 4 km and the final kilometre, where the recorded split was 1:42:03. If that late segment reflects a stop or timing issue, the first 4 km suggests solid 5K capability at a much quicker pace than the final result shows. For the next outing, the focus should be on carrying that controlled opening rhythm deeper into the race and making sure the finish is uninterrupted.
