The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Delhi 2026, Dilip Kumar Karanam crossed the line in 1:49:54: 536th of 1,403 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 81% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 46% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:54 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:24 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Delhi 2026 and Bengaluru 2026 were 3:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
