The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christoph Menge finished 540th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:39:06.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:26. A harder second half: 2:25 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Rotterdam 2026 were 1:20 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
