The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Acapulco 2026, José Luis Santos crossed the line in 1:28:20: 488th of 1,244 men, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 37% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:41. The race faded late: the second half went 4:09 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Acapulco 2026 and Cancun 2026 were 7:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
