The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hong Kong 2026, Tarun Naithani crossed the line in 1:22:31: 147th of 609 men, faster than 76% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 60% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:41 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:50 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hong Kong 2026 and Hong Kong 2024 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
