The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Lyon 2026, XAVIER GOETTELMANN crossed the line in 1:14:38: 240th of 800 men, faster than 70% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:13 quicker than the median and 46th of 800. Stronger after halfway: 2:47 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Lyon 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 2:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
