The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Barcelona 2026, Benjamin Carter crossed the line in 1:18:35: 446th of 1,158 men, faster than 62% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the farmers carry: 0:48 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:35 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Barcelona 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
