The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Washington DC 2026, Samson Szeto crossed the line in 1:24:26: 174th of 626 men, faster than 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:56 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:48 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Washington DC 2026 and New York 2024 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
