Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Mark Griffith #2476 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening 2K, Then Solidly Held On Mark ran 5.00 km in 31:06, averaging 6:13/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. He placed 44th in the male 55+ division and finished inside the top half overall, 2692nd of 5624. Running for EBRD Runners, he opened efficiently with 1 km splits of 6:01 and 6:02, reaching 2 km in 12:02. From there, the pace eased to 6:11, 6:32 and 6:23/km. The strongest section was the first 2 km, where he moved up to 39th in his division before settling back to 44th by the finish. As a coachs note, the early rhythm was clearly there; a slightly more even distribution after 2 km could help him carry that opening speed deeper into the race in future evening 5Ks.
