The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Eugene Cheng finished 336th of 702 men in the Open division at Seoul 2025, in 1:23:59, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:33 on the median. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Seoul gave the field time back: about 3:09 faster than the average race this season, by 375 athletes who raced both.
