The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Marcel Schubert crossed the line in 1:20:26: 269th of 686 men, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 71% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:37 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:39 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Leipzig 2022 were 4:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
