The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Istanbul 2026, KOSTANTINOS NTATSIS crossed the line in 1:24:47: 360th of 743 men, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 163rd of 743. The race faded late: the second half went 1:29 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Istanbul ran fast: the 324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:07 quicker here than at their other races.
