The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Auckland 2026, Ben Aiken crossed the line in 1:15:02: 105th of 763 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 90th of 763. Stronger after halfway: 1:17 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Auckland 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
