The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cologne 2026, Andreas Benz crossed the line in 1:20:01: 285th of 924 men, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 83% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:00 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Vienna 2026 were 1:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
