The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Mathieu Paquet crossed the line in 1:14:18: 105th of 866 men, faster than 88% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 75% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 4th of 866.
Ottawa ran slow: the 690 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:08 slower here than at their other races.
