Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris De Wardt #127 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Sub-20 Finish Chris ran 5.00 km in 19:57, averaging 3:59/km and breaking 20 minutes in a field of 5,624. He placed 20th in the Male 3640 division and 328th overall. His opening 2 km were especially sharp: 3:52 and 3:50, reaching 2 km in 7:41 at 3:50/km. From 3 km onward, his pace settled at 4:07, 4:11, and 4:00 per km, still enough to hold a sub-4:00/km overall average. He gained position through 2 km, moving up to 265th overall before easing slightly late. As a coachs note, the key opportunity is extending that early-race rhythm deeper into the final 3 km. On this fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, the sub-20 result stands out nicely.
