The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Josh Parmenter finished 1,245th of 1,621 men in the Open division at Chicago 2025, in 1:46:20.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 7:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 14:20, behind 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and New York 2025 were 1:11 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
