The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Simpson finished 498th of 966 men in the Open division at Malaga 2025, in 1:20:55.
A station race more than a running one: 59% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:50 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Malaga 2025 and London 2023 were 4:55 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
