Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Brian Smith #1682 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Steady 5K Execution Brian ran 5.00 km in 26:25, averaging 5:17/km. He placed 49th of the Male 5155 division and finished inside the top 29% overall in a field of 5,624. His pacing was controlled through 4 km: 5:14, 5:20, 5:22, and 5:22, before closing with his quickest kilometre at 5:09. That faster final kilometre stands out most. He held a narrow 8-second range across all 5 km, which shows solid rhythm, then found a clear lift at the end. In an evening Canary Wharf 5K known for its fast closed-road format, that finish suggests there is scope to press slightly earlier over the middle kilometres while keeping the same strong closing speed.
