Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Marcus Mebenga-Taylor #796 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Well-Paced 5K With a Strong Closing Kilometre Marcus ran 5.00 km in 23:25, averaging 4:41/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. He finished 903rd of 5,624 overall, 585th among men, and 116th in the male 1825 division. That placed him in roughly the top 16% of the field overall. His pacing improved each kilometre: 4:46, 4:45, 4:43, 4:40, then 4:33 for the final kilometre. He moved up from 1,176th at 1 km to 903rd at the finish, gaining 273 places through the race. The final 2 km averaged about 4:37/km, a clear step up from the opening 2 km at about 4:46/km. As a coachs note, that finishing strength stands out; with a slightly quicker opening kilometre, he may be able to bring the overall time down further.
