The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Samuel Mahrer finished 365th of 1,068 men in the Open division at St. Gallen 2026, in 1:22:25, faster than 66% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 75% of the field across all eight, against 55% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:25 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both St. Gallen 2026 and Stuttgart 2025 were 1:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
