The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Edward Simonjan crossed the line in 1:26:39: 478th of 993 men, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:49 quicker than the median and 39th of 993. Stronger after halfway: 2:23 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Berlin ran slow: the 2,286 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:42 slower here than at their other races.
