The race, in three figures
The race, in words
KHALID ESSALHI finished 271st of 686 men in the Open division at Berlin 2026, in 1:20:29, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 78% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 2:10 slower than the median. A harder second half: 4:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 2:03 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
