The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jake Negus finished 322nd of 1,621 men in the Open division at Chicago 2025, in 1:19:34, faster than 80% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 66% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 2:15 quicker than the median and 11th of 1,621. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and New York 2025 were 1:11 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
