The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marcel Gausemeier finished 657th of 924 men in the Open division at Cologne 2026, in 1:37:38.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:06 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:17 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cologne 2026 and Cologne 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
