Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ben Segelman #379 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast opening kilometre set up a sub-25 finish Ben covered 5.00 km in 24:51, averaging 4:58/km. He placed 46th in the M46-50 division and finished ahead of most of the 5,624-runner field, placing 1,248th overall. His quickest segment was the opening kilometre in 4:13, and he reached 2 km in 9:03. From there, his pace settled to 5:20, 5:21, and 5:08 across the final 3 km. That late improvement over the last kilometre was a positive sign after the mid-race slowdown. As a coachs note: the first kilometre was notably quicker than overall pace, so a slightly more even effort could help him hold closer to 5:00/km deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K through Canary Wharf suited a sharp, high-energy start.
