The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Jess Messias crossed the line in 1:19:22: 211th of 866 men, faster than 76% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:43 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 5:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
