Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Perkins #7972 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with a Fast Closing Kilometre James Perkins completed the 5K in 30:08, averaging 6:01/km. He finished 2,471st of 5,624 overall, 1,425th among men, and 395th in the M2630 division. His pacing was steady across the middle of the race: 6:01, 6:11, 6:05 and 6:07/km through the first 4km. The standout stat was his final kilometre in 5:45/km, the quickest of the race and 22 seconds faster than his 4th kilometre. He also improved his overall position from 2,647th at 1km to 2,437th by 3km before finishing close to that mark. In an event built around a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that late push was a good sign. To gain more time next race, aim to bring a little of that finishing speed into the opening 34km while keeping the same control.
