The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Norton finished 406th of 643 men in the Open division at Toulouse 2026, in 1:27:55.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 30% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:05 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 5:12 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Toulouse ran fast: the 1,258 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:52 quicker here than at their other races. 14:06 slower than at Istanbul 1 2026, the previous Open race.
