The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2023, Marc Steele crossed the line in 1:23:34: 457th of 974 men, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Glasgow ran fast: the 654 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:00 quicker here than at their other races.
