Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Chris Perham #5139 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Start, Strong Finish, Slight Mid-Race Fade Chris ran 5.00 km in 15:13, averaging 3:02/km. He placed 18th overall out of 5,624, 17th in the Male Elite field, and 7th in Male Elite 2630. His opening 2 km were especially sharp: 2:58 and 2:58, reaching 2 km in 5:55 and moving up to 14th overall. From 24 km, the pace eased to 3:07/km and 3:12/km, which cost a few positions, before he closed well with a 3:00 final kilometre. That finish brought him back up one place in his division. The key stat is the range between fastest and slowest kilometres: 14 seconds. On a quick evening 5K through Canary Wharf, that points to strong speed with a good closing response; a more even middle section could support an even faster overall time.
