The race, in words
Nic Butler finished 560th of 763 men in the Open division at Auckland 2026, in 1:42:27.
A station race more than a running one: 42% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:25 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
