Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Thomas White #4260 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Top-1% Finish Thomas covered 5.00 km in 18:07, averaging 3:37/km. He placed 124th of 5,624 overall, 35th among men, and 10th in the mens 2630 division. That puts him in roughly the top 2.2% of the field overall. His opening 2 km were especially sharp at 6:50 total, averaging 3:25/km, with splits of 3:24 and 3:27. From there, pace eased gradually across the final 3 km: 3:45, 3:46, and 3:47. Even with that slowdown, he held his position well through 4 km before giving up a few places late. As a coaching note, the key opportunity is to make the pace more even after 2 km; holding closer to the early rhythm deeper into the race would likely move this performance forward. This quick closed-road 5K through Canary Wharf rewarded exactly the kind of speed he showed early.
