The race, in words
In the Open division at Bangkok 2026, Matthew Hayes crossed the line in 1:21:02: 192nd of 1,026 men, faster than 81% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:26 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Bangkok gained about 2:35. 1:52 slower than at Perth 2025, the previous Open race.
