Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jake Bass #2240 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong close with a sub-4:00 final kilometre Jake ran 5.00 km in 20:38, averaging 4:07/km at Run The Wharf in London. He finished 407th of 5,624 overall, placing in roughly the top 7.2% of the field. Among men, he was 236th, and he took 80th in the Male 2630 division. In a large evening 5K built for quick running through Canary Wharf, that is a solid return. His pacing was controlled: 4:04, 4:13, 4:15, 4:11, then a fastest final kilometre of 3:57. He improved his overall position from 483rd at 1 km to 407th by the finish, gaining 76 places across the race. The standout stat is the finish: after sitting between 4:11/km and 4:15/km through the middle, he closed 14 seconds quicker than his average pace. Next step: aim to hold a little more of that late pace through kilometres 3 and 4.
