Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Sam Han #6717 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Close and Consistent 5K Pacing Sam ran 5.00 km in 21:43, averaging 4:20/km. He finished 567th of 5,624 overall, placing him in roughly the top 10% of the field. In the male 3640 division, he was 45th, and 353rd among men. For a large evening 5K through Canary Wharf, those are solid numbers. His pacing was steady across the race: 4:29, 4:11, 4:25, 4:24, and 4:16 per km. The fastest kilometres were km 2 and km 5, and he improved his overall position from 708th at 1 km to 567th at the finish, gaining 141 places. That finishing strength stands out. As a coachs note, trimming the opening kilometre slightly closer to race pace could help unlock a small overall gain while keeping this strong finish.
