The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Bilbao 2026, Declan Gill crossed the line in 1:15:03: 598th of 1,500 men, faster than 60% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 77% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 40% on the stations. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:38. Stronger after halfway: 1:12 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.
