The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, Chris Helwerda crossed the line in 1:18:44: 182nd of 490 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 67% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 47% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:07 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 7:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
