The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Malaga 2026, Guillermo Benítez Martínez crossed the line in 1:14:07: 342nd of 1,036 men, faster than 67% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:00 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 5:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
