The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Houston 2026, Sarah Benson crossed the line in 1:29:36: 216th of 961 women, faster than 78% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:12 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:16 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Houston 2026 and Dallas 2025 were 3:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
