The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Letourneau finished 124th of 866 men in the Open division at Ottawa 2026, in 1:15:20, faster than 86% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 93% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 65% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:16, ahead of 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 5:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
