The race, in words
In the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, Marco Heininger crossed the line in 1:26:04: 441st of 1,003 men, faster than 56% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 71% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:11. The race faded late: the second half went 1:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Karlsruhe ran slow: the 835 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:02 slower here than at their other races.
