Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Wilkinson #5372 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Opening, Best Pace Return to Finish James covered 5.00 km in 33:28, averaging 6:41/km. His fastest kilometre was the opening 1 km in 6:21, and he closed well with a 6:34 final kilometre after mid-race splits of 6:33, 7:10 and 6:51. That late rebound was a good sign, showing he was able to regain pace over the last kilometre. He finished 310th in the Male 3135 division. From a coaching view, the key stat is the gap between his quickest and slowest kilometre: 49 seconds. A steadier middle section would likely bring his overall time down most effectively. He briefly improved his position through 2 km before giving some places back later, so building more even pacing across kilometres 24 looks like the clearest next step at this fast evening Canary Wharf 5K.
