Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Max Rose #6023 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fast closing kilometre Max completed the 5K in 32:10, averaging 6:26/km. He placed 253rd in the male 1825 category and finished ahead of nearly half the field overall, placing 2873rd of 5624. His pacing improved each kilometre: 6:54, 6:44, 6:33, 6:16, then a fastest final kilometre of 5:45. That progression is the standout stat. He cut 1:09/km from first to last kilometre and moved up 479 places overall from 1K to the finish. The final 2K averaged 6:01/km, much quicker than the opening 2K at 6:49/km. For a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that finishing strength suggests he could gain more by starting slightly closer to his later pace while keeping this controlled build.
