Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Grace Hill #295 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Consistent 5K Pacing Grace ran 5.00 km in 21:27, averaging 4:17/km. She finished 13th in the female 3135 division, 74th female, and 523rd overall out of 5,624. That placed her in roughly the top 9% overall, and she closed well in a big evening 5K through Canary Wharf. Her pacing was steady across the full distance: 4:18, 4:20, 4:24, 4:18, then a quickest final kilometre of 4:10. She moved up from 665th overall at 1 km to 523rd at the finish, gaining 142 places. The strongest stat is the finish: after the slightly slower third kilometre, she re-accelerated over the last 2 km and ended with her fastest split. A useful next step would be aiming to hold that final-kilometre urgency a little earlier, around 34 km.
