Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Praise Oketikun #6007 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Kilometer Set Up a Solid 5K Finish Praise Oketikun completed 5.00 km in 38:29, averaging 7:41/km. She opened with her fastest kilometer at 6:34, then reached 3 km in 22:05 before finishing with splits of 8:30 and 7:55 over the final 2 km. Her strongest segment was clearly the first kilometer, giving her a pace buffer early. She finished ahead of about 36% of the field in a 5,624-runner event, a solid turnout for a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf. The main opportunity is pacing consistency: after the quick start, her middle and later kilometers settled into the 7:27-8:30/km range. A slightly more controlled first kilometer could help her hold a steadier rhythm deeper into the race.
