The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Ben Stead crossed the line in 1:10:54: 74th of 456 men, faster than 84% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:59 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:00 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.
