The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:29:19 at Gdansk 2026 put Patryk Gruszka 720th of 1,349 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:51 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:38 slower at Gdansk 2026 than at Warsaw 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
