The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Caroline Gruß finished 344th of 490 women in the Open division at Karlsruhe 2026, in 1:48:44.
The runs carried this race: faster than 32% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 3% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:30. The race faded late: the second half went 2:43 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Karlsruhe 2026 and Cologne 2026 were 1:55 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
