The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Boston 2026, Mike McMullan crossed the line in 1:16:45: 132nd of 339 men, faster than 61% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 71% of the field beaten on the stations, against 51% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 1:35 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Boston ran slow: the 181 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:56 slower here than at their other races.
