The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bangkok 2026, Markus Lichtenheldt crossed the line in 1:33:38: 780th of 2,227 men, faster than 65% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 75% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 47% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:40. Stronger after halfway: 4:02 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bangkok 2026 and Bangkok 1 2026 were 5:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
