The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, William Bland crossed the line in 1:27:50: 575th of 1,462 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:23 quicker than the median and 442nd of 1,462. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:32.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and Chicago 2025 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
