Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Kiyan Darakhshan #6312 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening, Then a Steady 5K to the Finish Kiyan ran 5.00 km in 24:17, averaging 4:51/km. He placed 1,115th of 5,624 overall, 735th of 2,595 men, and 142nd in the mens 1825 division. His opening kilometre was his quickest at 4:35, and he reached 2 km in 9:21 at 4:40/km average. From there, his pace settled into a narrow range: 5:00, 4:59, and 4:58 for the final 3 km. That consistency late on is a useful positive. The main opportunity is pacing the first kilometre a little closer to overall race pace, which could help him hold more even splits across all 5 km. At a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, backed by the Friday Night Lights atmosphere, this was a solidly controlled effort after the sharp start.
