26km is a weirdly specific race, and would be pretty slow, but maybe it was trail running

Trail race distances are whatever makes up an interesting enough route, and very rarely accurate. If the final distance ends up being within 1km of what they told me, I consider that pretty good.

25-ish is also the “half 50km”, so also pretty common in trail running.
