The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Matthew Melnyk crossed the line in 1:28:15: 412th of 866 men, faster than 52% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 267th of 866. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:58. Time in the roxzone, 4:41, was faster than 89% 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.
