Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jaafar Karkour #5711 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady Opening, Stronger Finish Position Jaafar completed this 5K in 40:04, averaging 8:01/km over 5.00 km. He finished 3,696th of 5,624 overall, placing 1,818th among men and 344th in the M3135 division. His opening kilometre was his quickest full km at 8:08, and he reached 2 km in 18:06. From 14 km, his split pace moved from 9:59/km to 10:25/km, then 10:19/km. Despite that slowdown, he improved his overall position late, moving from 3,802nd at 4 km to 3,696th at the finish, a gain of 106 places. That late move is a useful positive in a fast evening Canary Wharf 5K. For the next race, aiming to hold the 1st kilometre rhythm deeper into the middle kilometres would likely bring down the overall time.
