The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:46 at Toronto 2026 put Paul Hewitt 103rd of 252 men in the Open division, ahead of 59% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 46% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:20 quicker than the median and 60th of 252. Stronger after halfway: 2:19 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Ottawa 2026 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
