The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:28 at Berlin 2026 put Marcel Dietsch 493rd of 993 men in the Open division, ahead of 50% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 33% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:02 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:02 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Berlin ran slow: the 2,286 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:42 slower here than at their other races. 2:49 slower than at Cologne 2026, the previous Open race.
