Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Valentino Currie #1725 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start Set Up a Solid Sub-25 5K Valentino ran 5.00 km in 24:41, averaging 4:56/km. He opened quickly with a 4:31 first kilometre, then settled into a steady middle stretch: 5:03, 5:03 and 5:09/km, before closing in 4:57/km. That gave him a strong first half of 9:33 through 2 km and 14:36 at 3 km. Among 5,624 runners, he finished 1,204th overall and 229th in the M26-30 division. The standout stat is the aggressive opening kilometre, which was 26 seconds quicker than overall pace. In a fast evening 5K built for rhythm through Canary Wharf, a slightly more even start could help him hold the early momentum deeper into the race and sharpen the final 3 km.
