The race, in words
In the Open division at Incheon 2026, Steven Zhao crossed the line in 1:24:21: 478th of 1,100 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 0:48 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 2:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Incheon gave the field time back: about 1:31 faster than the average race this season, by 619 athletes who raced both. 10:24 faster than at Anaheim 2025, the previous Open race.
