Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Emily Penkett #813 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish Secured a Top-10 Age-Group Result Emily covered 5.00 km in 24:25, averaging 4:53/km. She placed 7th in the Female 4650 division, 247th female, and 1144th overall out of 5624 finishers. That age-group result stands out, especially in a large field at this closed-road Canary Wharf evening 5K. Her pacing was steady: 4:51, 4:52, 5:04, 4:56, then a quickest final kilometre of 4:44. She moved up well through 4 km, reaching 1128th overall and 235th female before easing slightly in the closing positions despite her fastest last kilometre. The main opportunity is in the third kilometre, which was 12 seconds slower than average; tightening that section could support an even stronger overall time next outing.
