The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nils Bruhn finished 490th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:34:35.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:35. A harder second half: 2:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:35 slower at Berlin 2026 than at Mechelen 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
