Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ali Moktar #6473 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Closing 5K He completed 5.00 km in 26:01, averaging 5:12/km. Against 5,624 runners, he finished 1,510th overall and 274th in the mens 2630 division. His race built well after the opening kilometre: 5:41, 5:17, 5:21, 4:54, and 4:50 per km. The standout stat is the close: his final 2 km averaged 4:52/km, 49 seconds per km quicker than his first kilometre. He improved position steadily from 2,169th at 1 km to 1,510th at the finish, gaining 659 places overall. That progression shows good control and strong finishing speed. For the next 5K, aim to bring the opening kilometre a little closer to his overall average pace; that could unlock a faster total time on this quick Canary Wharf evening course.
