The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martin Layng finished 609th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:46:56.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:36. A harder second half: 5:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:35 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
