Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Artem Mukha #7292 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening Kilometre Set Up a Solid 5K Artem ran 5.00 km in 26:59, averaging 5:23/km. His quickest kilometre was the first in 4:50, then he settled into 5:23, 5:37, 5:41, and closed with 5:30. That gave him a strong start and a steady finish after the middle kilometres drifted. He placed 155th of 3640 men, 1094th male, and 1756th overall out of 5,624. From a coaching view, the opening speed shows good top-end pace for this distance. The main opportunity is to hold that rhythm more evenly through km 24, where pace moved from 5:23 to 5:41 before improving again late. Finishing the final kilometre faster than km 3 and 4 is a useful sign. At Run The Wharf, that evening closed-road Canary Wharf course suits runners who can combine a quick start with steadier mid-race control.
