Italy’s Daniel Pattis improved on last year’s third-place finish by crossing the line second at the 2026 Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon. In the following interview, Daniel talks about being surprised at his placement given the depth of the field, how he ran his own pace early on in the race, how the lead group of men whittled down, and when he finally lost contact with race winner, Elhousine Elazzaoui, on the final downhill.
