Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Uche Njoku #7776 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick opening kilometre, then a steady finish Uche covered 5.00 km in 35:42, averaging 7:08/km at Run The Wharf in London. He placed 143rd in the Male 4145 division, 1722nd among men, and 3398th of 5624 overall. His fastest kilometre was the first in 6:22/km, and he reached 2 km in 13:26. From there, his pace settled at 7:41, 7:23, and 7:14/km across the final 3 km. That closing stretch was consistent, with the final kilometre quicker than kilometres 2, 3, and 4. The main opportunity is pacing: the gap between kilometre 1 and kilometre 3 was 1:19, so a slightly more even start could help him hold speed deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening 5K format suited a solid, controlled finish.
