The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Burton finished 917th of 1,452 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:29:43.
The stations carried this race: faster than 50% of the field across all eight, against 24% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:21. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
