The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Berlin 2026, Ronnie Downie crossed the line in 1:24:40: 494th of 1,097 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:50 quicker than the median and 337th of 1,097. A harder second half: 2:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 1:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
