The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Oliver Michel crossed the line in 1:20:33: 99th of 277 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 79% of the field across all eight, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:08 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 2:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
