The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:20 at Geneva 2026 put Arnaud Ponchelet 439th of 1,414 men in the Open division, ahead of 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:15 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:51 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Geneva 2026 and Geneva 2025 were 1:51 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
