The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rakesh Yadav finished 489th of 609 men in the Open division at Delhi 2026, in 2:16:38.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:25 on the median. A harder second half: 5:01 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.
