The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Laura Need finished 228th of 389 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:38:57.
The stations carried this race: faster than 50% of the field across all eight, against 24% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 1:47 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:33, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
