The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cardell Richardson finished 1,449th of 1,490 men in the Open division at Hong Kong 2026, in 2:39:34.
A station race more than a running one: 26% of the field beaten on the stations, against 1% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:59 behind the median. A harder second half: 12:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
That was 49:56 off the time at Stockholm 2024.
