Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Michal Papuga #7875 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled 5K Michal ran 5.00 km in 20:30, averaging 4:06/km. He finished 392nd of 5,624 overall, 224th male, and 49th in the male 3135 group. That placed him comfortably inside the top 7% of the field overall. Racing through Canary Wharfs closed roads, he combined a solid overall pace with a notably strong finish. His kilometre splits were 4:06, 4:11, 4:18, 4:08, and 3:49. After a small fade through 3 km, he responded well over the final 2 km and closed with his fastest kilometre by 17 seconds. He gained 34 overall places from 4 km to the finish, which is a strong late-race move. For the next outing, aiming to hold closer to 4:084:10/km through the middle section could bring the overall time down further.
