The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Connor VanSolkema crossed the line in 1:16:48: 252nd of 1,462 men, faster than 83% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:13 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:07 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 6:15, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and New York 2026 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
