The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Wilco van Bentum finished 438th of 490 men in the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, in 1:42:21.
A station race more than a running one: 33% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:10 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:25 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:33 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
