The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Damola Ogundipe crossed the line in 1:21:57: 396th of 1,462 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 83% of the field across all eight, against 59% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:55 quicker than the median and 19th of 1,462. The race faded late: the second half went 3:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Houston 2026 were 3:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
