Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Divya Radhakrishnan Nair #3650 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening Kilometre, Then a Steady Finish Divya completed the 5K in 41:14, averaging 8:14/km. Her fastest kilometre was the first in 6:39, followed by 8:28, 8:28, 8:57 and 8:43. That gave her a 16:56 opening 2K and a 24:18 final 3K. She finished 296th in the female 1825 division in a field of 5,624 overall. This was a clear positive start, and the data shows she settled into a more even rhythm through the middle before a slight slowdown in kilometre 4 and a small rebound in the last kilometre. For a Canary Wharf evening 5K built around the Friday Night Lights atmosphere, that strong first kilometre stands out. Next time, aiming for a slightly more controlled opening pace could help maintain that early speed deeper into the race.
