The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Valentino Franco finished 182nd of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:13:16, faster than 77% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 90% of the field beaten on the runs, 63% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:25 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:23 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Turin 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
