Daniel Pattis improved on a prior third-place finish by taking second at the 2026 Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon. He was surprised by his placement because the field was deep. He focused on running his own pace early in the race rather than matching others immediately. The leading men’s group gradually reduced in size as the race progressed. Pattis stayed with the race winner, Elhousine Elazzaoui, until the final downhill, where he ultimately lost contact and finished behind him.
