The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:30:15 at Malaga 2026 put Steven Bainbridge 388th of 460 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 15% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 4:23 quicker than the median and 32nd of 460. A harder second half: 5:29 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Malaga gave the field time back: about 1:37 faster than the average race this season, by 289 athletes who raced both. 5:08 faster than at London Olympia 2026, the previous Pro race.
