Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Roxanne Power #7762 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Start and Solid Top-35 Age-Group Finish Roxanne covered 5.00 km in 35:08, averaging 7:01/km at Run The Wharf in London. She finished 32nd in the Female 55+ division, a notable result in a field of 5,624 overall. Her opening kilometre was her quickest at 6:29/km, and she reached 2 km in 13:28 before settling into a steadier rhythm. From 3 km onward, her pacing was consistent: 7:22, 7:20, and 7:00 per km, with a stronger final kilometre than both kilometres 3 and 4. That late pickup is a good sign of control. As a coaching note, the main opportunity is to bring kilometres 2-4 closer to the opening pace, which could lower overall time while keeping that solid finish. Run The Wharfs evening Canary Wharf setting is built for fast closed-road 5Ks, and she finished well within that atmosphere.
