The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:01 at Heerenveen 2026 put Jeroen van der Velden 279th of 490 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:22 quicker than the median and 90th of 490. Stronger after halfway: 2:55 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
