The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Malaga 2026, James Roberts crossed the line in 1:07:56: 58th of 474 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:08 quicker than the median and 15th of 474. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:18 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
