The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Marco Theisen crossed the line in 1:13:36: 190th of 1,097 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:15 quicker than the median and 240th of 1,097. The race faded late: the second half went 1:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 10:45, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 2:43 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
