The race, in words
Baris Ozcelikay finished 491st of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:34:29.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 19% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 1:18 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:09 better against the middle of the field 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.
