Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Grace Mackeith #1786 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and steady sub-6:00/km pacing Grace covered 5.00 km in 29:08, averaging 5:49/km. She placed 740th of 5,624 women overall and 156th in the female 3135 category. Her pacing was notably consistent across the closed-road Canary Wharf course, with each kilometre between 5:42/km and 5:59/km. The key stat is her progression: 5:55, 5:59, 5:49, 5:42, 5:45 per km. After 2 km in 11:53, she ran the final 3 km in 17:15, averaging 5:45/km. She also moved up well through 4 km, improving from 183rd to 151st in her age group before a small fade in the final standings. As a coachs note, opening a touch closer to 5:50/km could help convert that strong middle section into an even sharper finish.
