Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Seokmin Kang #6800 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Controlled pacing with a strong closing kilometre Seokmin covered 5.00 km in 24:47, averaging 4:57/km. He finished 1,232nd of 5,624 overall, placing him in roughly the top 22%, and 149th in the male 3135 division. His pacing was steady across the race: 5:02, 4:57, 5:03, 5:01, then 4:46 for the final kilometre. That last kilometre was the key stat: 16 seconds quicker than his overall average pace and the fastest of the day by a clear margin. He also moved up notably after 1 km, improving from 1,449th to 1,153rd by 2 km. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, this was a well-managed effort. For the next race, aiming to bring the opening kilometre a little closer to race pace could unlock a quicker overall time.
