The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Denman finished 114th of 356 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:27:09, faster than 68% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 78% of the field across all eight, against 46% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:49 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:48 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Vancouver 2025 were 1:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
