The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Ottawa 2026, Bethany Spiers crossed the line in 1:26:17: 138th of 556 women, faster than 75% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 85% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 64% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:24 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:12 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Ottawa 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 4:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
