The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Conor Restall crossed the line in 1:21:44: 394th of 913 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:13 ahead of the median.
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.
