The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Justin Kouns finished 394th of 576 men in the Open division at Sharjah 2025, in 1:32:51.
A station race more than a running one: 48% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:32 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:39 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sharjah gained about 1:19. 0:58 slower than at Toronto 2024, the previous Open race.
