The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:49 at Istanbul 2026 put Semih Karaarslan 404th of 743 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 68% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:00 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:31 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.
