The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Zach Aherne finished 465th of 533 men in the Pro division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:36:17.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:20. The race faded late: the second half went 6:57 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 5:15 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
