Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Lola Arole #3244 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Steady Early Pace, Strong Position Gains Through 3K Lola Arole completed the 5K in 44:25, averaging 8:53/km. She placed 226th in the female 3640 division and finished ahead of 1,791 runners overall in a field of 5,624. Her opening 3K was notably consistent: 8:32, 8:38, and 8:39 per km, reaching 3K in 25:47 at 8:35/km. She made her best position gains by 2K, moving up more than 240 places overall from 1K, and held a similar standing through 4K. The final 2K slowed to 9:02 and 9:38/km, which shifted her back slightly late on. As a coaching note, the first 3K shows a solid pacing base; building a bit more durability over the final 2K could help her carry that steadier rhythm deeper into future evening 5Ks through Canary Wharf.
