Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Rachel Wright #1006 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish and Well-Controlled 5K Pacing Rachel ran 5.00 km in 22:45, averaging 4:33/km. She finished 147th of 5,624 women and 25th in the female 3135 category. Her pacing stayed tight across the race: 4:30, 4:34, 4:47, 4:30, and 4:25 per km, with only 22 seconds between her fastest and slowest kilometres. After a slight fade in the third kilometre, she reset well and closed with her quickest kilometre. She also moved up from 855th overall at 1 km to 765th at the finish, a gain of 90 places. That late-race response is a good sign. For the next 5K, aiming to smooth out the mid-race dip could bring her average pace closer to the strength of her final 2 km in this fast evening Canary Wharf event.
