The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Rutter finished 442nd of 763 men in the Open division at Auckland 2026, in 1:33:21.
The runs carried this race: faster than 54% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 29% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:22 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:22 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Auckland 2026 and Auckland 2025 were 5:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
