The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bilbao 2026, João Vergílio crossed the line in 1:08:00: 266th of 1,500 men, faster than 82% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 69% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:34 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:23 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Bilbao 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 6:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
