The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Katherine Ferguson crossed the line in 1:33:13: 240th of 722 women, faster than 67% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. On the sled pull the field had the edge, by 1:08. Stronger after halfway: 2:40 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and New York 2026 were 3:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
