Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ruby Wilkes #855 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Steady Close for a 23:17 5K Ruby Wilkes ran 5.00km in 23:17, averaging 4:39/km. She finished 178th female out of a field of 5,624 overall participants, with a strong opening kilometre of 4:22/km. Through 2km she was still averaging 4:27/km, showing good early speed in this closed-road Canary Wharf evening 5K. Her middle section drifted from 4:33 to 4:59/km across kilometres 24 before she recovered to 4:39/km for the final kilometre. That late response was a positive sign. The key training focus would be holding the early pace more evenly through the middle of the race, as her fastest and slowest kilometres were 37 seconds apart. With a steadier 34km segment, she could lower this time further.
