The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at New York 2025, DJ Melgar crossed the line in 1:25:57: 173rd of 403 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:09 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:25 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced New York gained about 2:30.
