The race, in words
Talha Galip finished 561st of 743 men in the Open division at Istanbul 2026, in 1:38:58.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:20 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 18:01, behind 96% of the field.
Istanbul ran fast: the 324 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:07 quicker here than at their other races.
