The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Sanj Patla crossed the line in 1:18:12: 172nd of 466 men, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 49% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:31 quicker than the median and 9th of 466. Stronger after halfway: 3:47 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.
