Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nika Kowalska #317 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Top-1% Finish Nika covered 5.00 km in 20:27, averaging 4:05/km. She placed 382nd of 5,624 overall, 42nd female, and 19th in the female 2630 division. That puts her in the top 7% overall and top 1% of the full field for a strong evening 5K in Canary Wharf. Her opening kilometre was the quickest at 3:43, followed by 4:08, 4:15, 4:20, and a solid closing kilometre of 4:03. After the aggressive start, pace eased through the middle 3 km before she finished well with her second-fastest kilometre. As a coachs note, a slightly more even effort across kilometres 24 could help convert that strong finish into a faster overall time next time.
