Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ben Hoskings #607 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast opening 2K set up a solid sub-28 5K Ben covered 5.00 km in 27:57, averaging 5:35/km. He placed 214th in the male 1825 division and finished ahead of 3,616 of 5,624 runners overall. His strongest section came early: 1K splits of 5:26 and 5:25 brought him through 2K in 10:51 at 5:25/km, gaining nearly 200 places overall by that point. From 2K onward, the pace eased gradually to 5:39, 5:44, and 5:45/km. That trend suggests the opening pace was slightly ahead of his sustainable rhythm on the night. As a coachs note, aiming to hold the first 2K a touch closer to 5:305:32/km could help him keep the back half tighter. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, a sub-20-second spread across the kilometres is still a solid platform to build from.
