The race, in three figures
The race, in words
André Klingeberg finished 728th of 993 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:38:19.
A station race more than a running one: 51% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the row, 0:41 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
