The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marcus Hill finished 313th of 653 men in the Open division at Houston 2026, in 1:34:24, faster than 52% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:45 quicker than the median and 88th of 653. If there was time left out there, it was on the row, 0:44 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Houston 2025 were 5:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
