The race, in words
David Brüggen finished 272nd of 321 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:47:12.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 8% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:55. Stronger after halfway: 1:30 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 835 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:02 slower here than at their other races.
