Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Vinita Menon #5991 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast opening kilometre set up a steady 5K Vinita completed the 5K in 51:57, averaging 10:23/km. Her quickest kilometre was the first in 9:57, and she stayed close to pace overall with the remaining kilometres between 10:11/km and 10:51/km. After 2km she was at 20:07, then 30:58 through 3km and 41:44 through 4km, before closing with a solid final kilometre in 10:14. A notable stat is the rebound at the finish: after the slower middle section, she improved from 10:46/km in kilometre 4 to 10:14/km in kilometre 5. That late pickup is a useful strength, especially in a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf through Canary Wharf. For future races, aiming to keep kilometres 3 and 4 closer to her early pace could trim time while preserving that strong finish.
