The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Frank Drews finished 1,092nd of 1,486 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2025, in 1:39:21.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:42 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:20 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2025 and Berlin 2025 were 1:38 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
