The race, in three figures
The race, in words
2:07:30 at Chicago 2025 put Cherryl Zekeng 1,049th of 1,127 women in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 32% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:56. The race faded late: the second half went 18:03 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Chicago gave the field time back: about 3:08 faster than the average race this season, by 475 athletes who raced both. That was 16:46 off the time at Dallas 2024.
