The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2025, Volker Hennemann crossed the line in 1:21:34: 391st of 1,208 men, faster than 68% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:56 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:47 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2025 and Berlin 2024 were 2:30 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
