Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Raiara Dambros #2371 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fastest final kilometre Raiara covered 5.00 km in 27:27, averaging 5:29/km. She moved up through the field across the race, finishing 1,872nd of 5,624 overall, 539th female, and 105th in the female 3135 category. Running with Kinetic Collective, she steadily improved from 5:48/km in the opening kilometre to 5:02/km in the final kilometre. The key stat here is the progression: each kilometre was quicker than the last5:48, 5:35, 5:34, 5:30, then 5:02. That 46-second improvement from first to last kilometre shows controlled pacing and a strong finish. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that closing speed stands out. For future races, a slightly more assertive opening kilometre could bring the overall time down further while keeping this strong finishing pattern.
