Date: Aug. 22, 2026 Participant: Rashid Yasin #592 Race: 2026 Habanero 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Age Group Win Forged Through a Blistering Move Up the Field Rashid Yasin closed out the 10K at the 2026 Habanero Hundred with a 1:20:05 finish, good for 5th overall and 5th among men in a field of 49 finishers. He topped the M30-39 division outright, a position he held from the very first mile split and never relinquished. His overall average pace settled at 13:07 per mile, a number that undersells how much ground he made up as the race progressed. The mile-by-mile data tells the real story. Yasin opened conservatively a 20:06 first mile that had him 30th overall before mounting a sharp climb through the field: 10:01, 12:05, and 11:57 splits pulled him to 6th place by mile four. His strongest surge came in mile five, a 9:24 split that moved him into 5th overall, a position he held through the finish despite a final-mile split of 15:04 that suggests some fade over the closing stretch. Tightening that last mile could be the difference between holding 5th and pushing into the top three next time out. Context matters here: this edition of the Habanero Hundred, billed as Texas' hottest trail race, is run on a single 10km loop system at the 7IL Ranch, with real-feel temperatures regularly topping 100 degrees and mandatory personal hydration required for every entrant since the race is entirely cupless. Held under a high-noon start by design so runners absorb the heat while still fresh rather than late in the race the conditions make Yasin's negative-split middle miles particularly notable, even with the early and late fluctuations bookending his effort.
