Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Andrew Bates #533 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with smart late-race acceleration Andrew covered 5.00 km in 33:13, averaging 6:38/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. He placed 55th in the Male 55+ division, 1,626th among men, and 3,054th overall from 5,624 finishers. Racing for EBRD Runners, he finished in the top half overall and improved his division position from 61st at 1 km to 55th at the line. His pacing trend was the standout stat: 1 km in 6:44, 2 km in 7:03, 3 km in 6:57, then a strong lift over the final 2 km with 6:26 and 6:04. That close brought his average pace down steadily from 6:54/km through 3 km to 6:38/km overall. As a coaching note, the final 2 km show clear speed in reserve; aiming for a slightly steadier middle section could support an even quicker total time next time.
