The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Chris Laidlaw crossed the line in 1:18:07: 190th of 613 men, faster than 69% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:28 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:18 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
