Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Caoimhe Naughton #6662 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast finish and consistently sub-4:05/km pacing Caoimhe ran 5.00 km in 19:48, averaging 3:57/km. She placed 28th female and 12th in the Female 2630 category out of 5,624 total participants. Her pacing was highly controlled through 4 km: 4:02, 3:59, 4:05, and 3:58 per km, keeping her overall pace right around 4:00/km before closing hard. The standout stat was the final kilometre in 3:46, her quickest of the race, which moved her from 29th to 28th among women and from 332nd to 306th overall. That negative finish is a strong sign of good judgment and speed late in the run. Next step as a coach: aim to bring km 3 closer to the rhythm of km 2 and km 4, which could unlock a slightly faster overall time on another quick evening 5K.
