The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Chris Farquhar crossed the line in 1:11:44: 87th of 528 men, faster than 84% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:57 quicker than the median and 70th of 528. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 1:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
