The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Helsinki 2026, Marjo Toivanen crossed the line in 1:23:53: 154th of 579 women, faster than 73% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 62% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:27 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:56 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Helsinki gave the field time back: about 2:57 faster than the average race this season, by 206 athletes who raced both.
