The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Oslo 2026, Austin Hobbs crossed the line in 1:24:18: 414th of 871 men, faster than 53% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 31% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:34 quicker than the median and 293rd of 871. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:36.
Athletes who raced both Oslo 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
