The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Karsten Grøn Nielsen finished 699th of 900 men in the Open division at Copenhagen 2026, in 1:38:45.
A station race more than a running one: 40% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:55 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:18 better against the middle of the field than before it.
0:14 faster than at London Excel 2025, the previous Open race.
