The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rome 2026, Marco giro crossed the line in 1:15:32: 156th of 642 men, faster than 76% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:53 quicker than the median and 143rd of 642. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:24 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 5:31, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rome 2026 and Verona 2025 were 2:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
