The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Magnus Norén finished 697th of 913 men in the Open division at Helsinki 2026, in 1:35:02.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:48 on the median. A harder second half: 2:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Helsinki gained about 2:49. 11:56 slower than at Malaga 2026, the previous Open race.
