The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Nordera finished 523rd of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:26:47.
The stations carried this race: faster than 50% of the field across all eight, against 28% on the runs. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:33. The race faded late: the second half went 1:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Verona 2025 were 3:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
