The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Symon Ferguson finished 536th of 595 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:53:29.
The stations carried this race: faster than 34% of the field across all eight, against 4% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:05 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
