The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Katowice 2026, Natalia Jarawka crossed the line in 1:20:36: 99th of 486 women, faster than 80% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 89% of the field beaten on the runs, 59% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Katowice gained about 1:15. That was 3:26 off the time at Berlin 2025.
