The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Hannes Pazurek finished 726th of 993 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:38:14.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:19 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin cost the whole field time: about 0:42 more than the average race this season, going by 2,286 athletes who raced both. 8:21 slower than at Cologne 2026, the previous Open race.
