The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2026, RJ Moka crossed the line in 1:19:58: 397th of 1,122 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 49% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:53 quicker than the median and 71st of 1,122. The race faded late: the second half went 1:42 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 1:22 faster than the average race this season, by 1,013 athletes who raced both.
