The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marco Ruocco finished 404th of 665 men in the Open division at Rimini 2026, in 1:35:08.
The stations carried this race: faster than 63% of the field across all eight, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:28 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:58 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rimini 2026 and Bologna 2026 were 1:31 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
