The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Taylor Bowles crossed the line in 1:18:54: 226th of 1,233 men, faster than 82% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 90% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. Stronger after halfway: 5:58 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:55, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Houston 2026 were 2:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
