Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Archie Torkington #199 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening, Strong Top-4% Finish Archie ran 5.00 km in 19:01, averaging 3:48/km. He finished 199th of 5,624, placing him in roughly the top 3.5% overall, and 27th in the male 2630 category. His first 4 km were especially consistent at 3:35, 3:42, 3:52, and 3:51, reaching 4 km in 15:00. The key stat was the early speed: 2 km in 7:17 and 3 km in 11:09 set up a very competitive result. The final kilometre was 4:02, about 27 seconds slower than the opening kilometre, so pacing evenly over the full 5 km is the clearest area to target next. In a fast evening Canary Wharf race built around Friday Night Lights, this was a sharp performance with strong positioning throughout most of the run.
