The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Toronto 2026, Mo Aref crossed the line in 1:27:27: 406th of 1,135 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:29 ahead of the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:40. A harder second half: 1:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Toronto 2025 were 6:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
