The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:03 at Toronto 2026 put Shane Merrigan 419th of 1,135 men in the Open division, ahead of 63% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:53 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Toronto 2026 and Ottawa 2026 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
