The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:28 at Istanbul 2026 put Rahmi Berkay Naiboglu & Muhammed ibrahim Tiryaki 422nd of 515 men's teams in the Doubles Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:06 from the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:06 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Istanbul gave the field time back: about 2:51 faster than the average race this season, by 178 teams who raced both.
