The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kenneth J Sauer III finished 581st of 927 men in the Open division at Chiba 2026, in 1:38:34.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:15 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:20 better against the middle of the field than the first.
That was 2:32 off the time at Shanghai 2025.
