Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Robert Carter #247 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish Secured a Sub-19 5K Robert covered 5.00 km in 18:57, averaging 3:47/km. He finished 190th of 5,624 overall and 8th in the mens 3640 division, a strong age-group result in a very large field. His closing kilometre was his quickest at 3:38, and he gained 20 places overall from 4 km to the finish. His pacing was steady across the full distance: 3:46, 3:43, 3:52, 4:01, then 3:38 per km. That late surge stands out and shows good finishing speed. The main opportunity is in the fourth kilometre, where pace eased slightly; holding that section a little closer to his early rhythm could bring the overall time down further. In an event built for fast evening 5K running through Canary Wharf, this was an efficient and well-executed run.
