The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Napier took 3rd of 60 in the 16–24 age group at Sydney 2026, in 1:03:07.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:09 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:48 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:42, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Sydney 2025 were 3:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
