The race, in words
In the Open division at Bilbao 2026, Prasun Gautam crossed the line in 1:10:32: 376th of 1,500 men, faster than 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 56% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 6:39 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:13, ahead of 94% of the field.
Bilbao ran fast: the 741 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 3:22 quicker here than at their other races. That was 1:37 off the time at Geneva 2025.
