The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Helsinki 2026, Sebastian Handke crossed the line in 1:16:41: 258th of 913 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 0:53 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:57 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Helsinki ran fast: the 434 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:49 quicker here than at their other races. That was 3:03 off the time at Mechelen 2026.
