The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Thomas Leithold crossed the line in 1:17:54: 241st of 924 men, faster than 74% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 88% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:00 ahead of the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:54, was faster than 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 2:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
