Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Shaun Mathew #2137 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast start set up a strong sub-22-minute 5K Shaun ran 5.00 km in 21:56, averaging 4:23/km. He finished 600th of 5,624 overall, placing him in roughly the top 11% of the field. Among men, he was 378th, and 118th in the M2630 division. His opening kilometre was the quickest at 4:09, and he reached 3 km in 12:52 at 4:17/km average. The pacing trend was clear: 4:09, 4:22, 4:22, 4:35, 4:30. That gave him a 13-second positive split from first kilometre to last, while the final 2 km averaged 4:33/km. The early position gain was notable, moving up to 541st by 2 km before settling back late. A slightly more even effort across kilometres 3 to 5 could help him convert that sharp opening speed into a quicker overall time at this fast Canary Wharf evening 5K.
