Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ed Devenport #270 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre, Strong Top-8% Finish Ed ran 5.00 km in 20:35, averaging 4:07/km. He placed 403rd of 5,624 overall, putting him in roughly the top 7.2% of the field, and 29th in the male 3640 division. His fastest kilometre was the first in 3:57, followed by a steady middle section of 4:09 and 4:05, with the final 2 km at 4:14 and 4:12. The standout stat is how well he held position through 3 km, moving up from 418th at 1 km to 382nd at 3 km before a small drop late on. That suggests good early commitment and competitive pacing in a quick evening 5K through Canary Wharf. For the next race, a slightly more even effort after the opening kilometre could help him hold those mid-race gains deeper into the final 2 km.
