The race, in words

A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:55 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Toronto cost the whole field time: about 2:37 more than the average race this season, going by 933 athletes who raced both. 3:50 slower than at Toronto 2024, the previous Open race.
