The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Liam Hughes finished 85th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:12:46, faster than 82% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:25 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:19 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:01, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
