Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris Bailey #2224 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Solid Finish for a Consistent 5K Chris covered 5.00km in 30:26, averaging 6:05/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. He placed 72nd in the Male 5155 division and finished ahead of more than half the field, 2543rd of 5624. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 5:41, and he closed well with a 6:03 final kilometre after running 6:25 and 6:29 through km 3 and 4. The key stat is the rebound over the last kilometre: after pace drift in the middle section, he regained 26 seconds from km 4 pace. That suggests good late-race control. As a coachs note, a slightly steadier effort through km 2 to km 4 could bring the overall average down further. This evening 5K is known for its fast closed-road setting, and he made strong use of the finish.
