Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: George Wintle Wintle #104 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast 5K with a Strong Closing Kilometre George ran 5.00 km in 19:43, averaging 3:56/km. He finished 289th of 5,624, placing him in roughly the top 5.1% overall. In the male field he was 152nd, and 50th in the male 2630 category. This was a sub-20 performance on a quick closed-road evening 5K through Canary Wharf. His pacing was steady across the distance: 3:49, 3:56, 4:01, 4:04, then 3:54 for the final kilometre. That rebound in the last kilometre is a good sign of control and finishing strength. The main opportunity is in the middle section, where pace drifted from 3:56/km in kilometre 2 to 4:04/km in kilometre 4. Tightening that stretch could bring his average pace down further next time.
