Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ryan Skirving #2898 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish Lifted a Steady 5K Ryan covered 5.00 km in 24:58, averaging 4:59/km. In a field of 5,624, he finished 1,276th overall, 832nd among men, and 155th in the mens 3135 division. His fastest kilometre was the last in 4:42, and he closed with a strong move up 30 overall places from 4 km to the finish. The pacing pattern was consistent early: 5:00, 4:53, 5:12, 5:14, then a clear late surge at 4:42. That final kilometre was 32 seconds quicker than his slowest split, showing good closing speed. As a coachs note, the key opportunity is to bring the third and fourth kilometres closer to the opening pace; holding sub-5:00/km a little longer would turn a solid evening 5K through Canary Wharf into a quicker overall result.
