The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:39 at Berlin 2026 put Rutger van de Maat 420th of 686 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:23 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:51 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Berlin 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:35 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
