The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, Beth Thompson crossed the line in 1:18:19: 140th of 789 women, faster than 82% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:24 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Sydney 2026 and Auckland 2026 were 7:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
