Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Nikesh Arya #7860 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fast closing kilometre He ran 5.00 km in 18:56, averaging 3:47/km. That placed him 189th of 5,624 overall, 79th male, and 24th in the M3135 division. In a big-field evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that is a solid result, especially with his position improving steadily from 327th at 1 km to 189th by the finish. The standout stat was his progression across the race: 3:56, 3:48, 3:56, 3:42, then 3:35 for the final kilometre. He covered the second half in 7:16 versus 7:44 for the opening 2 km, showing strong control and a decisive finish. As a coaching note, the closing speed suggests there may be scope to commit a little earlier over the middle kilometres while keeping that same finish.
