The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alan Norris finished 435th of 581 men in the Open division at Rome 2026, in 1:34:53.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:28 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:18 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
