Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Coco Cheng #3283 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish with Fastest Closing Kilometre Coco ran 5.00 km in 32:28, averaging 6:29/km at Run The Wharf in London. She finished 140th in the Female 3640 division, 1153rd overall, and 2930th out of 5624 runners. Running with Canary Wharf Run Club, she held a steady overall pace and improved her division placing from 145th at 1 km to 140th by the finish. Her kilometre splits were 6:29, 6:45, 6:46, 6:28, and 6:02. The standout stat was the final kilometre, her quickest of the race and 44 seconds faster than kilometres 2 and 3. That late acceleration shows strong finishing strength. A useful next step is aiming for a slightly more even middle section to bring the average pace closer to the speed she showed over the last 2 km.
