The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Maciej Stępień finished 136th of 859 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:12:01, faster than 84% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 98% of the field beaten on the stations, against 60% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 2:18 on the median. A harder second half: 1:14 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice ran fast: the 713 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:43 quicker here than at their other races.
