The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:34 at Washington DC 2026 put Raquel Polacke on the age-group podium: 2nd of 15 in the 50–54 age group.
The runs carried this race: faster than 91% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 52% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:03 quicker than the median and 38th of 342. The race faded late: the second half went 2:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and New York 2026 were 5:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
