The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matteo Petruzzelli finished 723rd of 799 men in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:39:43.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 2:46 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:26 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Rome 2025 were 6:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
