Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Phil Besnier #2252 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Controlled 5K with a strong closing kilometre Phil ran 5.00 km in 21:36, averaging 4:19/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharfs closed-road evening 5K. He finished 540th of 5,624 overall, 333rd male, and 105th in the male 2630 division. That puts him around the top 10% overall, a notable result in a large field. His pacing was steady: 4:13, 4:17, 4:23, 4:29, then a quicker 4:16 final kilometre. He held position well through the middle of the race and gained a few places among men late on. The standout stat is the rebound in the last kilometre after the slowest split in kilometre 4. For improvement, aiming to keep kilometre 34 closer to early-race pace could trim more time while preserving that strong finish.
