The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jenna Benson finished 213th of 424 women in the Open division at Bologna 2026, in 1:30:24.
Nowhere gained more than the farmers carry: 0:39 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:01 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:49 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Bologna gave the field time back: about 2:51 faster than the average race this season, by 390 athletes who raced both. 0:50 faster than at Birmingham 2025, the previous Open race.
