The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Leon Clarke finished 945th of 1,122 men in the Open division at Sydney 2026, in 1:41:58.
A station race more than a running one: 38% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:50. A harder second half: 5:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Sydney gave the field time back: about 1:22 faster than the average race this season, by 1,013 athletes who raced both.
