The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Las Vegas 2026, Wesley Tao crossed the line in 1:21:19: 401st of 1,739 men, faster than 77% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:26 quicker than the median and 181st of 1,739. Stronger after halfway: 1:34 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Las Vegas 2026 and Anaheim 2025 were 6:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
