The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Las Vegas 2026, Nik Van Vliet crossed the line in 1:30:07: 793rd of 1,739 men, faster than 54% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 65% of the field across all eight, against 45% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:31 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:28 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Las Vegas 2026 and Phoenix 2026 were 1:46 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
