The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Duncan Simpson crossed the line in 1:18:02: 189th of 613 men, faster than 69% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 81% of the field across all eight, against 55% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:38 quicker than the median and 39th of 613. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:33 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
