Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Polina Kuznichenko #3085 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Polina ran 5.00 km in 30:13, averaging 6:02/km. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 5:44, followed by 5:56 through 2 km. She reached 3 km in 17:49 and 4 km in 24:00, then closed in 6:14 for the final kilometre. That produced a 30-second spread from fastest to slowest kilometre, showing a strong early rhythm before a gradual fade. In a field of 5,624, she finished 882nd female and 281st in the female 2630 division. The best positional gain came by 2 km, where she had moved up to 2,283rd overall and 775th female. For the next race, the clearest opportunity is to hold the 2 km pace deeper into the run. On this fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that steadier middle section could trim meaningful time.
