Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Wendy Shikuku #2888 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Best Pace in the Final Kilometer Wendy ran 5.0 km in 38:49, averaging 7:45/km at Run The Wharf in London. She placed 1,633rd of 5,624 women and 488th in the female 2630 division. Her pacing was steady across the middle of the race: 1 km in 7:31, then 8:07, 7:50, and 7:58 through 4 km. The standout stat was her closing kilometer in 7:24, her quickest of the race and 34 seconds faster than her overall average pace. She also improved position early, moving from 3,739th overall at 1 km to 3,547th at 2 km. That late finish shows good closing strength. As a coachs note, holding a pace closer to that final kilometer earlier in the race could help bring down her next 5K time.
