Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Louis Sharpe-Ward #5002 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Strong Late Gains Louis ran 5.00km in 15:59, averaging 3:11/km. He finished 36th overall out of 5,624, placing 32nd in the male elite field and 14th in Male Elite 2630. His opening 4km were very controlled: 3:15, 3:10, 3:14 and 3:15, staying within a 5-second range and holding 3:13/km through 4km. The standout stat was the closing kilometre: 3:06, his quickest of the race, improving his overall position from 39th to 36th and his division place from 17th to 14th. That late surge shows strong finishing strength and good pacing judgement. If he wants to sharpen this further, a slightly quicker first kilometre while preserving that final-kilometre speed could be worth testing in future evening 5Ks like this fast Canary Wharf closed-road event.
