The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Christoph Rosenthal finished 486th of 1,003 men in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:28:08, faster than 52% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 66% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 45% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:49 behind the median. A harder second half: 4:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2026 and Vienna 2025 were 2:52 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
