The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Maxime Verhaegen finished in the top 10% of the field at Berlin 2026, in 1:09:02 for 72nd of 686 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:56 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:10 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 10:35, ahead of 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:35 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
