Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Laura Burke #2287 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Progressive Final 2K Laura covered 5.00 km in 29:14, averaging 5:50/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. She placed 87th in the Female 3640 category and finished ahead of a large section of the 5,624-runner field. Her opening 3 km were steady at 5:56, 5:59, and 6:06/km, reaching 18:00 through 3 km. The standout stat was the closing section: 4th km in 5:48 and 5th km in 5:27, a 39-second improvement from km 3 to km 5. She also moved up from 99th to 87th in her division over the race. That late acceleration is a very useful sign of control and finishing strength. As a next step, aiming to hold the km 4 rhythm a little earlier could bring the overall average down further.
