Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Quoc Tran #401 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong opener, steady reset, solid sub-23 finish Quoc covered 5.00 km in 22:42, averaging 4:32/km. He finished 755th of 5,624, placing in roughly the top 13% overall, and 87th in the male 3135 division. His fastest kilometre was the first in 4:15, and he closed well with a 4:30 final kilometre. In an evening 5K built for quick running through Canary Wharf, that adds up to a solid sub-23 performance. His pacing pattern was 4:15, 4:36, 4:44, 4:39, 4:30 per km. After the quick opening kilometre, he settled into a narrower range across the remaining 4 km, with just 14 seconds between kilometres 25. That late pickup is a good sign. The main opportunity is to smooth the early pace slightly so more energy is available through the middle kilometres while still keeping that strong finish.
