The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Joel Matthews crossed the line in 1:12:27: 102nd of 613 men, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 94% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:34 quicker than the median and 58th of 613. Quick through the roxzone: 3:42, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
