Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Karolina Rys #7759 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Closing Kilometre Karolina Rys ran 5.00 km in 25:40, averaging 5:08/km. She opened with her quickest kilometre at 4:58, reached 2 km in 10:05, and closed well with a 5:03 final kilometre. Her overall pace stayed tight, with all five full kilometres between 4:58/km and 5:18/km. She finished 1,434th of 5,624, placing in roughly the top 26% overall. Among women, she was 362nd, and 130th in the female 2630 division. The middle section from 24 km drifted slightly to 5:18 and 5:16, so a useful next step is holding closer to early-race rhythm through those kilometres. At Run The Wharf, an evening 5K through Canary Wharf built around Friday Night Lights energy, that strong opening and closing combination stood out.
