The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Taylor finished 437th of 673 men in the Open division at Tenerife 2026, in 1:34:21.
The stations carried this race: faster than 48% of the field across all eight, against 22% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the farmers carry: 0:32 on the median. A harder second half: 1:30 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Tenerife 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 4:22 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
