Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Jani Penalba #6271 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Finish and Strong Age-Group Result Jani ran 5.00 km in 22:35, averaging 4:31/km. She finished 5th in the female 3640 division, 138th female, and 733rd overall out of 5,624. That age-group placing stands out most. Her pacing improved well across the race: 4:45, 4:29, 4:37, 4:29, and 4:17 per km, with the fastest final kilometre. She moved from 11th to 5th in her division over the 5 km, gaining places steadily after 1 km. That closing speed is a strong sign of control. As a coachs note, a slightly quicker opening kilometre could bring the overall time down further, especially on a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf through Canary Wharf.
