The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Brandon Paris crossed the line in 1:27:43: 222nd of 626 men, faster than 65% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:30 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:11 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:23 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.
