Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Christos Rigoutsos #2846 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled 5K Progression He completed the 5K in 27:42, averaging 5:32/km. His km splits were 5:40, 5:35, 5:31, 5:38, and 5:19, with his fastest running saved for the final kilometre. That closing 1km was 21 seconds quicker than his first, a clear sign of strong pacing and a decisive finish. He also moved up well through the field early, improving from 2201st at 1km to 1918th by 3km, and finished 223rd in the M3135 category. The pacing pattern was steady across the middle 3km, all between 5:31/km and 5:38/km. As a coachs note, building on that final-km strength by pressing a little earlier from 3km could help lower the overall time further at fast evening 5Ks like this one through Canary Wharf.
