The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:14 at Cologne 2026 put Marc Niemann 117th of 259 men in the Open division, ahead of 55% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:18 quicker than the median and 33rd of 259. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:53 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:07 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Hamburg 2024 were 2:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
