Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Christopher Williams #3595 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Km Set Up a Solid 5K Finish Christopher covered 5.00 km in 38:50, averaging 7:46/km. He placed 258th in the M36-40 division and finished in the top 65% overall (3629 of 5624). His quickest kilometre was the opening 1 km in 6:31, then he reached 2 km in 14:07 and 3 km in 22:22. The key stat is the pacing shift after the first kilometre: 6:31/km early, then 7:36, 8:15, 8:14 and 8:16/km. The final 4 km averaged about 8:05/km, so the opening pace was notably quicker than his overall rhythm. As a coachs note, a slightly more even start would likely help him hold pace better across the full 5K. In an evening Canary Wharf race known for its fast closed roads and Friday Night Lights atmosphere, this was a steady finish.
