The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Matteo Viviani at Bologna 2026: 1:03:30, 15th of 799 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:10 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:29 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:09, ahead of 94% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Verona 2025 were 3:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
