The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Saul Arroyo finished 1,100th of 1,244 men in the Open division at Acapulco 2026, in 2:02:22.
A station race more than a running one: 34% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the row, 1:52 behind the median. A harder second half: 13:09 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Acapulco ran slow: the 739 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:02 slower here than at their other races.
