Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Lingyin Xu #5803 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Top-12% Finish Lingyin ran 5.00 km in 22:10, averaging 4:26/km. She finished 652nd of 5,624, placing her in roughly the top 11.6% overall. Among women, she was 111th, and she placed 19th in the female 3135 division. Her opening 2 km were especially quick and consistent: 4:12, then 4:11, reaching 2 km in 8:23. From there, pace eased to 4:36, 4:30, and 4:42/km across the final 3 km. That early speed shows strong 5K capability, and holding the middle section closer to the opening rhythm would likely lower the final time further. In an evening Canary Wharf 5K known for its fast closed roads and Friday-night atmosphere, this was a solid performance with a notably sharp first 2 km.
