The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:12:58 at Berlin 2026 put Mehrzad Birani 130th of 686 men in the Open division, ahead of 81% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 90% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 62% on the stations. Stronger after halfway: 1:50 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 10:47, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Warsaw 2026 were 2:59 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
