Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: George Mattimoe #4447 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Progressive 5K Pacing George completed the 5K in 27:59, averaging 5:35/km across 5.00 km. He moved through the race with a clear progression: 5:38, 5:42, 5:44, 5:35, then a fastest final kilometre of 5:22. That closing km was 22 seconds quicker than his slowest split, a strong late-race response. He finished ahead of roughly 64% of the field (2014th of 5624). His average pace improved from 5:41/km at 3 km to 5:35/km by the finish, showing good control after the midpoint. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that finishing speed stands out. For the next race, the main opportunity is a slightly steadier middle section, which could set up an even stronger overall time while keeping that decisive finish.
