Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Stefan Spiridon #4403 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a quick opening kilometre Stefan ran 5.00 km in 26:10, averaging 5:14/km at Run The Wharf in London. He finished 1,560th of 5,624 overall, placing in the top 28% of the field. Within the male 1825 division, he was 184th, and 993rd among men overall. Racing with Run Social, he opened strongly with a 5:01 first kilometre. His pacing was consistent through 3 km: 5:01, 5:08, and 5:13/km, reaching 3 km in 15:21. The second half was slower, with kilometres 4 and 5 at 5:30 and 5:21/km. That 29-second gap between first and fourth kilometre is a useful marker: holding closer to early pace deeper into the run would likely bring his finishing time down. On this fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, the solid start and controlled first 3 km stood out.
