As this is not an attack, but a defense, that doesn't apply.

An important note is that attackers are considered to be at their starting range for defense purposes, so an unarmed attacker who runs in from reach 3 to reach C can still be parried and stabbed by a reach 3 spear.

And this is why running up on spears is bad. They might just stab you on the way in.
