The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Jonathon Smith crossed the line in 1:13:12: 81st of 365 men, faster than 78% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:59 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:19 better against the middle of the field than before it.
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.
