The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Shenzhen 2026, Craig Fowler crossed the line in 1:29:28: 475th of 1,284 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 70% of the field across all eight, against 49% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:12 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:13 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Shenzhen 2026 and Hong Kong 2026 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
