The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Hamid El Aarbaoui won the 40–44 age group at Hamburg 2025 in 1:03:18, first of 48.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:25 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:26, ahead of 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2025 and Maastricht 2025 were 3:32 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
