The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ali Albalooshi finished 431st of 576 men in the Open division at Sharjah 2025, in 1:37:11.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:39 better against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 9:41, behind 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Sharjah 2025 and Dubai 2024 were 1:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
