Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Damilola Adetunmbi #2173 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick opening kilometre set up a solid 5K He completed the 5K in 26:29, averaging 5:17/km, and finished 143rd in the M36-40 division. His fastest kilometre was the first in 4:49/km, followed by 5:15, 5:17, 5:49 and 5:21/km. Through 2km he had moved up to 1,319th overall before settling to 1,632nd by the finish. The key stat is the strong start: 2km in 10:04 put him on pace for a quicker finish, and he still closed the final kilometre faster than kilometre 4. For coaching focus, the biggest opportunity is holding the early rhythm deeper into the race, especially between 3km and 4km where pace shifted by 32 seconds. In an evening Canary Wharf 5K built for speed, that opening 1km showed clear upside.
