Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris Barnes #2235 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady 5K with a Strong Fourth Kilometre Chris covered 5.00 km in 33:24, averaging 6:40/km. His kilometre splits were very consistent: 6:45, 6:46, 6:46, 6:28, and 6:41. The standout section was km 4, his quickest of the race and 18 seconds faster than his overall average pace. He reached 4 km in 26:44 before closing the final kilometre in 6:41. He placed 138th in the M41-45 division out of a field of 5,624 overall. Position improved through the middle of the race, moving from 3,272nd at 1 km to 2,972nd at 4 km. That mid-race gain, especially across km 4, suggests good capacity to press the pace late. As a coachs note, holding that km 4 rhythm a little earlier could bring the overall time down further in future evening 5Ks like this fast Canary Wharf run.
