Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris Wells #1555 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Paced 5K Chris ran 5.00km in 26:42, averaging 5:20/km. He placed 1,680th of 5,624 overall, 1,051st male, and 147th in the male 3640 category. His fastest kilometre was the last in 5:03, matching the opening kilometre and showing strong closing speed. Across the evening closed-road Canary Wharf course, he moved up 14 overall places and 6 places in his age group by the finish. His kilometre splits were 5:04, 5:33, 5:42, 5:22, and 5:03. After a slower middle section, he regained pace well over the final 2km, improving from 5:42/km in km 3 to 5:03/km in km 5. That finish suggests good reserve late in the race; the main opportunity is to hold a steadier rhythm through km 23 to bring the overall time down further.
