The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Exel finished 849th of 993 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:48:12.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 2:03 slower than the median. A harder second half: 5:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 19:22 in the roxzone was slower than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Berlin 2022 were 1:04 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
