The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Markus Volk finished 333rd of 1,208 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, in 1:19:54, faster than 72% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 83% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:06 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:01 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2025 and Karlsruhe 2024 were 2:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
