The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alkım Bayraktar finished 524th of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:36:38.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:42 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:10 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.
