The race, in words
1:09:11 at Athens 2026 put Walter Dorninger on the age-group podium: 3rd of 45 in the 45–49 age group.

Athens gave the field time back: about 1:07 faster than the average race this season, by 284 athletes who raced both. 0:01 faster than at EMEA London Olympia 2026, the previous Open race.
