The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:16:48 at Riga 2026 put Luke Elford 197th of 882 men in the Open division, ahead of 78% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 80% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 60% on the stations. The race faded late: the second half went 1:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:49, was faster than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Riga 2026 and Malaga 2026 were 1:29 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
