The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Istanbul 2026, Solenne Gerard crossed the line in 1:26:25: 120th of 416 women, faster than 71% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 86% of the field beaten on the runs, 46% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 3:28 behind the median. Quick through the roxzone: 8:13, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Istanbul 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 4:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
