The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:12:25 at Delhi 2026 put Ruchiketan Gute 984th of 1,403 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the row, 0:56 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:35 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.
