The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Chris Markey crossed the line in 1:14:10: 208th of 913 men, faster than 77% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:10 on the median. A harder second half: 2:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
