Nahuel Carabaña Sets Andorran 10K Road Race Record

Andorran athlete Nahuel Carabaña has set a new national record in the 10km road race, clocking 28:04 minutes at the Valencia Ibercaja by Kiprun 10K.

Competing for the Andorran Athletics Federation (FAA), Carabaña finished 40th overall and 32nd in the senior men's category in the event, widely regarded as the fastest 10K course globally. His performance improved his own previous national mark of 29:01 by nearly a minute, achieved at an average pace of 2:48 per kilometre.

The race proved demanding from the start, with Carabaña in 53rd place overall—and 43rd among seniors—at the 5km mark in 14:10. He then mounted a strong comeback in the second half, overtaking more than 10 competitors to secure his final position.

The FAA hailed the result as Andorra's first national record of the year, underscoring Carabaña's clear progress and current peak form. The Valencia 10K drew over 14,000 runners and elite distance specialists, with Sweden's Andreas Almgren winning in a European record 26:45. Britain's Eilish McColgan took the women's title in a continental record 30:08, while a new Spanish men's record was also set.

Carabaña's achievement highlights his rising status in Andorran athletics amid top-tier international competition.
