The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Helsinki 2026, Stefan Kastenman crossed the line in 1:21:41: 393rd of 913 men, faster than 57% of the field.
No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median. A harder second half: 1:03 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Helsinki 2026 and Stockholm 2025 were 4:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
