The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Jason Ayliffe crossed the line in 1:17:38: 295th of 913 men, faster than 68% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 201st of 913. On the farmers carry the field had the edge, by 0:42.
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.
