The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Samuel Parker crossed the line in 1:15:51: 142nd of 528 men, faster than 73% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:39 quicker than the median and 95th of 528. Stronger after halfway: 3:43 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
