The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Warsaw 2026, Marcel Bliss crossed the line in 1:19:21: 634th of 1,792 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 83% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:03 quicker than the median and 161st of 1,792. A harder second half: 1:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Warsaw 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 7:21 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
