Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Hal Baker #6301 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Steady 5K Execution Hal ran 5.00 km in 24:07, averaging 4:49/km. He placed 1,083rd of 5,624 overall, 713th male, and 138th in the male 1825 division. His km splits were 4:45, 4:52, 4:53, 4:59, and 4:40, with the fastest closing kilometre saved for the finish. This was a well-controlled effort: the opening 3 km stayed within 8 seconds, then he finished 19 seconds quicker in the final kilometre than in km 4. He also moved up from 1,128th at 1 km to 1,045th at 2 km before holding position well late on. For the next 5K, aiming to keep km 4 closer to the early pace could trim more time. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a strong late push.
