The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Valerie Mancabelli won the 50–54 age group at Boston 2026 in 1:19:30, first of 14.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:40 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:20, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 1:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
