Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Leo Sgambato #6255 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish and well-paced 5K Leo ran 5.00km in 20:52, averaging 4:10/km. He placed 436th of 5,624 overall, 260th of the men, and 49th in the mens 1825 division. That puts him in roughly the top 7.8% of the field overall, a strong result in a large evening 5K through Canary Wharf. His pacing was steady across the first 4km: 4:08, 4:15, 4:15, and 4:16, then he closed with his fastest kilometre at 4:00. He improved from 504th at 1km to 436th at the finish, gaining 68 places overall, including 10 places in the final kilometre alone. That late surge stands out. For the next race, aiming to bring kilometres 24 a little closer to the opening and closing pace could help lower the overall time further.
