The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Clark finished 329th of 365 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:46:16.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:50. A harder second half: 6:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2025 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
