The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Laurent Hayez finished 30th of 132 men in the Pro division at St. Gallen 2026, in 1:11:51, faster than 77% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 95% of the field beaten on the stations, against 61% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 2:49 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:24 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both St. Gallen 2026 and Geneva 2025 were 1:23 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
