The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aaron Smyth finished 123rd of 561 men in the Open division at Malaga 2026, in 1:12:44, faster than 78% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 89% of the field across all eight, against 59% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:32 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:22 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Dublin 2025 were 3:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
