Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Lauren Murphy #6222 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Solid Sub-24 Finish Lauren ran 5.00 km in 23:54, averaging 4:46/km. She finished 1032nd of 5624 overall, placing her in roughly the top 18% of the field. Among women, she was 218th, and she placed 74th in the female 2630 division. In an evening 5K built for quick running through Canary Wharf, a sub-24 result stands out well. Her strongest section came early: 2 km in 9:12 at 4:36/km, with her second kilometre the quickest at 4:33. She reached 3 km in 14:07 before pace eased to 4:55 and 5:02 over the next two kilometres, then closed the final kilometre in 4:47. The key coaching note is pacing: the opening 2 km gave her good position, and a slightly more even middle section could help convert that speed into a faster overall time next time.
