The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Benjamin Neumann finished 700th of 704 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 2:38:51.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 8:38 behind the median. A harder second half: 11:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 36:22, behind 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Berlin 2025 were 2:44 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
