The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Martyn Hinks finished 509th of 859 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:28:18.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:50 on the median. A harder second half: 2:19 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.
