Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Libbi Cohen #2340 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fast closing kilometre Libbi covered 5.00 km in 29:30, averaging 5:54/km. She finished 2,355th of 5,624 overall, 798th female, and 164th in the female 1825 division. Her position improved steadily through the race, moving from 2,913th overall at 1 km to 2,355th by the finish. The key stat was her progression by kilometre: 6:24, 6:11, 5:56, 5:52, then 5:08. That is a clear negative split, with each full kilometre faster than the last. She cut 1:16 from first kilometre to fifth, which shows good control early and strong finishing speed. On a fast evening 5K built around Canary Wharfs closed roads and social atmosphere, that late-race acceleration stands out. For the next race, a slightly quicker opening kilometre could unlock more time while keeping this strong finish.
