The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marlon Somwaru finished 375th of 626 men in the Open division at Washington DC 2026, in 1:40:31.
Legs and stations told different stories: 50% of the field beaten on the runs, 30% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:59. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:23 better against the middle of the field than the first.
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.
