The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bologna 2026, Mattia Redaelli crossed the line in 1:16:52: 345th of 1,006 men, faster than 66% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:54 quicker than the median and 203rd of 1,006. The race faded late: the second half went 1:43 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.
