The race, in words
1:25:02 at Paris 1 2025 put Benjamin Merigard 283rd of 409 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 46% of the field beaten on the stations, against 18% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:02 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:35 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Paris 1 gave the field time back: about 1:12 faster than the average race this season, by 267 athletes who raced both.
