The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Johanna Basford crossed the line in 1:19:34: 98th of 758 women, faster than 87% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 98% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:43 quicker than the median and 11th of 758. Stronger after halfway: 4:17 better against the middle of the field than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:28. That was 7:19 off the time at Gdansk 2025.
