The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Onias Mhlanga finished 680th of 898 men in the Open division at Valencia 2026, in 1:32:01.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 14% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:14. A harder second half: 7:40 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Valencia ran fast: the 667 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:08 quicker here than at their other races.
