Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Charlotte Shiels #3548 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish with consistent kilometre-by-kilometre gains Charlotte covered 5.00 km in 27:31, averaging 5:30/km. She finished 1,883rd of 5,624 overall, 545th female, and 107th in the Female 3135 division. Running for TMF Group, she improved her average pace each kilometre after opening in 5:51. Her kilometre splits were 5:51, 5:33, 5:39, 5:24, and 5:07. The standout stat was the final kilometre: 44 seconds quicker than the first and her fastest of the race. She also moved up well through the field, from 2,427th at 1 km to 1,883rd at the finish. In an evening 5K built for speed through Canary Wharf, that closing strength stands out. As a coaching note, a slightly quicker opening kilometre could help bring the overall time down while still preserving that strong finish.
