The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Hong Kong 2026, Benjamin Chu crossed the line in 1:26:18: 384th of 1,490 men, faster than 74% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 3:50 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:59 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Hong Kong 2026 and Beijing 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
