The race, in words
In the Open division at Valencia 2026, Marcelino Roca Ros crossed the line in 1:10:48: 150th of 898 men, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:06 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:29 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Valencia ran fast: the 667 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:08 quicker here than at their other races.
