The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bologna 2026, Mattia Bernardini crossed the line in 1:09:26: 88th of 799 men, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:33 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Turin 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
