The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Marcus Vanderspek finished 579th of 672 men in the Open division at Paris GP 2026, in 1:40:19.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:34 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Paris GP ran fast: the 1,315 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:30 quicker here than at their other races.
