Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Rael Champan #2087 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start, Solid 5K Finish Rael ran 5.00 km in 27:10, averaging 5:26/km. He opened sharply with a 4:51 first kilometre, then covered the remaining 4 km in 22:19, or about 5:35/km. His fastest section was the opening kilometre, and he stayed under 6:00/km for every full kilometre. In a field of 5,624, he finished 1,803rd overall. The pacing trend was clear: 4:51, 5:17, 5:28, 5:59, and 5:37 per km. That early speed gave him strong initial position before the middle kilometres drifted. As a coachs note, a slightly more controlled first kilometre could help him hold closer to 5:205:30/km deeper into the race. On a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that steadier distribution could produce a quicker overall time.
