Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Tom Marriage #6192 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split with a fast final 2km Tom ran 5.00km in 23:30, averaging 4:42/km. He finished 927th of 5,624, placing him in roughly the top 16% overall, and 116th in the male 3135 category. In a fast evening 5K through Canary Wharf, his pacing improved steadily across the race. His 1km splits were 4:56, 4:56, 4:50, 4:20 and 4:30. That progression stands out: after 3km in 14:41, he covered the final 2km in 8:49, an average of 4:25/km. He also moved up from 1,796th at 1km to 927th at the finish, gaining 869 places overall. From a coaching perspective, this finish shows strong control and speed late on; a slightly quicker opening 2km could bring the overall time down further.
