The race, in words
Ram Arora finished 488th of 609 men in the Open division at Delhi 2026, in 2:16:09.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:28 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 7:19 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:58 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Delhi ran slow: the 620 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:56 slower here than at their other races.
