Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Anastasia Mattingley #5356 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Finish for a Sub-25 5K Anastasia ran 5.00 km in 24:20, averaging 4:52/km. She placed 1,131st of 5,624 overall, which puts her comfortably inside the top 21% of the field. Among women, she was 242nd, and 85th in the female 2630 division. Her quickest kilometre was the opening 1 km in 4:40, and she closed well with a final kilometre of 4:44. The pacing pattern was clear: 4:40, 4:56, 4:59, 5:03, then back to 4:44. That late lift stands out after a steadier middle section and shows strong finishing speed. A useful next step would be aiming to hold the early rhythm a little more evenly through kilometres 24. In an evening 5K known for its fast closed roads through Canary Wharf, this was a solid sub-25 performance.
