Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Justin Spurdens #40 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast 5K with a Strong Opening 3K Justin ran 5.00 km in 18:25, averaging 3:41/km. He finished 146th of 5,624, placing 50th among men and 16th in the M3135 division. His first 3 km were especially sharp: 3:30, 3:36, and 3:41, reaching 3 km in 10:46 at 3:35/km average. The key stat is the contrast between the opening 3 km and the final 2 km: 7:05 for 02 km versus 7:39 for 35 km. Position stayed steady through 4 km before a small drop late, which points to a solid start and a slightly tougher finish. On this quick evening Canary Wharf course, a more even effort over the last 2 km could move the overall time closer to the low-18s.
