Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sarah Wood #3601 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Then Settled Into a Steady 5K Sarah ran 5.00 km in 34:15, averaging 6:51/km. Her opening kilometre was her quickest at 6:32, and she reached 2 km in 13:21. Mid-race splits eased to 7:08 and 6:59 before she closed with a solid 6:48 final kilometre, a good rebound after the third kilometre. She finished 93rd in the Female 4145 division. This was a fairly even effort overall, with just 36 seconds between her fastest and slowest full kilometres. The strongest stat is the final kilometre being quicker than kilometres 2, 3, and 4, which shows she still had finishing strength. For the next 5K, a slightly more controlled first kilometre could help her hold the early rhythm deeper into the race. In a closed-road evening run through Canary Wharf, that late-race pickup stood out well.
