The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:44:55 at Cardiff 2026 put Marc Williams 365th of 365 men in the Open division.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 16:00. The race faded late: the second half went 10:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 10:14 in the roxzone was slower than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
