The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Paul Walker crossed the line in 1:18:52: 543rd of 1,452 men, faster than 63% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:40 quicker than the median and 166th of 1,452. The race faded late: the second half went 1:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 2:25 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
