The race, in words
Andreas Benz finished 371st of 1,068 men in the Open division at St. Gallen 2026, in 1:22:43, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:35 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it.
St. Gallen ran slow: the 530 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:57 slower here than at their other races. 6:07 slower than at Frankfurt 2025, the previous Open race.
