The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Osaka 2026, Kang Kim crossed the line in 1:31:39: 521st of 1,119 men, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 71% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:42 quicker than the median and 95th of 1,119. A harder second half: 1:53 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Osaka gained about 1:20.
