The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bologna 2026, Simone Di Benedetto crossed the line in 1:20:57: 458th of 1,006 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 36% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 0:54 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:32 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Bologna 2026 and Verona 2025 were 3:49 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
