Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Benji Fernandes #6445 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Finish Benji covered 5.00 km in 32:27, averaging 6:29/km. He finished 301st in the Male 3135 division and inside the top 53% overall (2926 of 5624). His fastest kilometre was the first in 5:32/km, giving him a strong early position before settling into the mid-6:00s per km. The pacing trend was 5:32, 6:37, 6:54, 6:40 and 6:47 per km. After the quick start, he held a fairly steady range across the final 4 km, with kilometre 4 his strongest later segment. As a coaching note, a slightly more controlled opening kilometre could help him stay closer to his early pace deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs evening closed-road format suits that kind of measured, consistent effort well.
