The race, in three figures
The race, in words
John Dietrick finished 359th of 418 men in the Open division at Boston 2026, in 2:01:24.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. A harder second half: 10:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 12:24 in the roxzone was slower than 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and New York 2024 were 3:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
