Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Davies #6647 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Consistent 5K, Strong Finish James ran 5.00 km in 21:20, averaging 4:16/km. He finished 502nd of 5,624 overall, placing inside the top 9% of the field. Among men he was 304th, and 99th in the M2630 division. His quickest kilometre was the first in 4:06, and he closed the final kilometre in 4:14. His splits were 4:06, 4:14, 4:25, 4:23, and 4:14, showing a sharp opening kilometre, a steadier middle, and a solid rebound late. The 2-second difference between kilometres 2 and 5 is a useful marker of maintained pace after the early surge. For future races, aiming to bring kilometres 3 and 4 closer to the 4:14 range could trim more time. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a quick, efficient outing.
