The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, Nils Bernhardt crossed the line in 1:17:10: 259th of 1,208 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:35 quicker than the median and 153rd of 1,208. The race faded late: the second half went 1:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 766 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:58 slower here than at their other races. 6:01 slower than at Sports Direct HYROX London 2024, the previous Open race.
