In the men's race, Hagos Gebrhiwet showed his dominance early on, breaking away from the lead group before the 5km mark. Despite his efforts to challenge the world record, the Ethiopian finished in 58:05, failing to drop below the 58-minute barrier on the Avinguda Litoral stretch.

Swiss athlete Dominic Lobalu finished in second place with a time of 59:26. Although he aimed to break the European record currently held by Andreas Almgren, he fell short of the 58:41 target during the final stages of the race.
