The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Malaga 2026, KHALID ESSALHI crossed the line in 1:17:49: 207th of 474 men, faster than 56% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 0:52 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:39 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Rome 2025 were 6:22 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
