The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Istanbul 2026, Mehmet Saday crossed the line in 1:12:42: 130th of 743 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:00 quicker than the median and 53rd of 743.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 5:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
