The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Alexander Franke crossed the line in 1:15:25: 56th of 259 men, faster than 78% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:23 slower than the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:36, was faster than 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2024 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
