The oldest came in second place. Ben is older than Alex, and Curtis is older than Dan, hence either Ben or Curtis finished second.

Alex ran the distance faster than Curtis, and Dan ran faster than Ben and Curtis, hence considering the above observation Ben finished second and the classification is:

Dan - Ben - Alex - Curtis.
