The race, in words
In the Open division at New York 2025, Mickey Hughes crossed the line in 1:13:53: 242nd of 1,462 men, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 60% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:27 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:24 better against the middle of the field than before it.
New York ran fast: the 990 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:30 quicker here than at their other races.
