The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Radcliffe finished 348th of 1,036 men in the Open division at Malaga 2026, in 1:14:17, faster than 66% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 80% of the field beaten on the runs, 45% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:40. The race faded late: the second half went 2:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2026 and London 2025 were 3:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
