The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:41 at Helsinki 2026 put Markus Heinonen 758th of 913 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:53 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Helsinki gave the field time back: about 2:49 faster than the average race this season, by 434 athletes who raced both.
