Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: William Chen #250 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Strong Closing Kilometre William ran 5.00 km in 19:31, averaging 3:54/km. In a field of 5,624, he placed 258th overall, 132nd among men, and 40th in the male 2630 division. His result came in Run The Wharfs evening closed-road Canary Wharf 5K, an event known for combining quick racing with a post-run social atmosphere. His pacing was well controlled: 3:47, 3:58, 4:00, 4:03, then 3:44 for the final kilometre. That last kilometre was his quickest and moved him from 281st at 4 km to 258th at the finish, a gain of 23 places. From a coaching view, the standout stat is the finishing speed after a steady middle section. If he can hold the 3:584:00/km range a little deeper into the race, there is scope for a faster overall time.
