The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Fritz Ramón Schöngarth crossed the line in 1:17:30: 74th of 259 men, faster than 71% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 82% of the field beaten on the runs, 58% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:42 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:43 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
