The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tolgahan Camgöz finished 447th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:31:03.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:57 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Istanbul ran fast: the 324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:07 quicker here than at their other races.
