The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Benjamin Vavoulas won the 40–44 age group at Malaga 2026 in 59:39, first of 77.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:17 quicker than the median and 12th of 474. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:26, ahead of 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
