The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Oliver Griffiths crossed the line in 1:09:25: 51st of 365 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:30 quicker than the median and 72nd of 365. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
