The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chloe Lewis finished 275th of 351 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:46:39.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 6:42, behind 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
