The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sara Staggs finished 496th of 586 women in the Open division at New York 2026, in 2:08:54.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:01 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:45 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
New York ran slow: the 1,530 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:27 slower here than at their other races.
