The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bengaluru 2026, Nihhaal Ravinder Kumar crossed the line in 1:49:51: 681st of 1,806 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 81% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 38% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:25 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:32 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bengaluru 2026 and Mumbai 2025 were 4:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
