The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:48:50 at Istanbul 2026 put Muhammed Akın 649th of 743 men in the Open division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 31% of the field beaten on the runs, 5% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 7:27. The race faded late: the second half went 6:42 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Istanbul 1 2026 were 5:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
