The race, in words
Simone Piccione finished 647th of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:33:02.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:21 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:35 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Bologna ran fast: the 1,063 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:23 quicker here than at their other races.
