The race, in words
Ciara Flanagan finished 135th of 190 women in the Open division at Valencia 2026, in 1:43:28.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:24 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
That was 14:11 off the time at Malaga 2024.
