Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Saira Kanwar #4257 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Steady 5K Saira covered 5.00 km in 38:33, averaging 7:42/km. She opened quickest with a 7:07 first kilometre, then settled into a consistent middle and late race: 7:57, 7:46, 7:54, and 7:50/km. Her fastest and slowest full kilometres were separated by 50 seconds, showing a solid overall rhythm after an assertive start. In a field of 5,624, she placed 88th in the female 4650 category. The strongest positional gain came at 2 km, where she moved up to 71st in her division before easing slightly across the second half. As a coachs note: the opening kilometre was notably quicker than the rest, so a slightly more even first 2 km could help sustain momentum deeper into future evening 5Ks like this closed-road Canary Wharf race.
