Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sam Crean #7276 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast 4K, then a major slowdown after 16:26 Sam covered 5.00 km in 1:02:15, averaging 12:27/km. The standout stat was the first 4 km: 16:26 total at a very steady 4:06/km, with individual kilometres of 4:08, 4:06, 4:05 and 4:08. He improved his overall position from 505th at 1 km to 388th by 3 km, holding that through 4 km. In his age group, he moved from 60th to 40th over the same stretch. The final kilometre took 45:50, which drove the overall result to 3903rd of 5624, 1885th male and 302nd in the male 1825 division. The key takeaway is clear: his 4 km pacing was consistent and competitive, so preserving momentum across the full 5 km is the main area to address next time. For an evening closed-road Canary Wharf 5K, the opening 4 km were the performance to build on.
