The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Brian Anger crossed the line in 1:21:36: 304th of 1,233 men, faster than 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 60% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:39 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:28 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
