The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cem Gökmen finished 413th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:28:19.
A station race more than a running one: 59% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:58 on the median. A harder second half: 1:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Istanbul gained about 3:07.
