Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Josh Addo #2171 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish and sub-4:00/km pacing Josh ran 5.00 km in 19:47, averaging 3:57/km. He placed 304th of 5,624 overall, 160th among men, and 53rd in the mens 2630 division. In a large evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that result put him well inside the top 6% overall. His pacing was consistent and improved as the race developed: 4:05, 3:57, 4:04, 3:58, then a fastest final kilometre of 3:46. He moved up from 400th at 1 km to 304th at the finish, gaining 96 places overall, with 22 gained in the last kilometre alone. That closing speed stands out. A practical next step is to bring the opening kilometre slightly closer to overall pace, which could unlock a faster finish time while keeping the same strong late-race momentum.
