Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Libby Stafford #6360 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Finish Lifted the Overall Pace Libby ran 5.00 km in 25:47, averaging 5:09/km. She placed 379th of 5,624 women overall and 101st in the female 1825 category. Her pacing trend was notable: after opening with 5:06 for the first kilometre, she moved through 5:15 and 5:23 before tightening back to 5:09 and closing with her fastest kilometre of the race in 4:57. That finish stands out most: the final kilometre was 26 seconds quicker than kilometre 3 and 18 seconds quicker than kilometre 2. She also gained places through 3 km, moving from 1,588th overall at 1 km to 1,462nd by 3 km. For the next 5K, aiming for a steadier middle section could help bring the average pace closer to that strong closing speed on a fast evening course through Canary Wharf.
