Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: James Clark #6309 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Finish Over 5K James ran 5.00 km in 20:41, averaging 4:08/km. He finished 410th of 5,624 overall, placing in roughly the top 7%, and 81st in the male 2630 division. His pacing improved each kilometre: 4:16, 4:20, 4:12, 4:04, then a quickest closing kilometre of 3:51. That progression stands out. After 2 km in 8:35, he covered the final 3 km in 12:06, an average of 4:02/km. He also moved up 101 overall places from 1 km to the finish, including 34 places in the last kilometre alone. In a fast evening Canary Wharf 5K built for rhythm and momentum, this was a well-judged effort. If he wants to lower this further, the main opportunity is a slightly steadier second kilometre to bring the early pacing closer to the strong finish.
