The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sean Toonen finished 499th of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:25:25.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the burpee broad jumps, 1:39 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:12 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Bologna ran fast: the 1,063 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:23 quicker here than at their other races. 2:00 slower than at Belgium 2025, the previous Open race.
