The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Hawkins & Joe Maddern finished 642nd of 813 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:23:08.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:18 of the median. A harder second half: 2:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:07.
