The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sarah Benson finished 239th of 1,029 women in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:28:40, faster than 77% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:55 quicker than the median and 61st of 1,029. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:24 better 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.
