Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Brett Shirley #2889 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Closing Kilometre Lifts Overall Pace Brett covered 5.00 km in 31:02, averaging 6:12/km. He finished 2670th of 5624 overall, placing in the top half of the field, and was 411th in the Male 2630 division. His opening 2 km were steady at 6:09 and 6:14, reaching 2 km in 12:23. The middle section dipped slightly to 6:34 for km 3 before settling back to 6:17 in km 4. The standout stat was the final kilometre: 5:49, his fastest of the race by 20 seconds per km versus his overall average. That late acceleration shows good finishing strength on a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf. For the next race, aiming to hold closer to early pace through km 34 could bring the finish time down further.
