Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Max Grant #6652 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast Opening 3K Set Up a Solid 5K Finish Max ran 5.00 km in 26:58, averaging 5:23/km at Run The Wharf in Canary Wharf. He finished 1,749th of 5,624 overall, with a very strong opening half: 1 km in 3:57, then 2 km and 3 km reached in 8:29 and 13:23. Through 4 km, he was still at 18:38, holding 4:39/km overall pace. The key stat is the contrast between the first 3 km and the final 2 km. After a quick start, his pace eased from 3:57/km in the first kilometre to 4:32, 4:55, and 5:16 across the next three, before the closing section brought the average to 5:23/km. That suggests good early speed and a clear chance to improve the overall result by pacing the opening 23 km a little more evenly on this fast closed-road evening 5K.
