The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Madrid 2025, Elias Mertens crossed the line in 1:17:07: 339th of 1,312 men, faster than 74% of the field.
The farmers carry was the standout, 0:49 quicker than the median and 31st of 1,312.
Athletes who raced both Madrid 2025 and Marseille 2024 were 3:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
