Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Francesco Iheanyiogu #769 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Then Settled Into a Solid 5K Francesco ran 5.00 km in 23:38, averaging 4:43/km at Run The Wharf in London. He finished 959th of 5,624 overall, placing him in roughly the top 17% of the field. In the Male 1825 division, he was 126th. His fastest kilometre was km 2 in 4:24, following a 4:34 opening km. After 2 km in 8:57, the pace shifted to 5:00 for km 3, then recovered well with 4:57 and 4:44 to close. That rebound in the final kilometre is a positive sign. The main opportunity is pacing through the middle of the race: matching the first 2 km more closely across km 34 would likely bring the overall time down. This fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf suited a strong opening effort and a composed finish.
