The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, Julien de Jong crossed the line in 1:14:50: 234th of 966 men, faster than 76% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:11 quicker than the median and 78th of 966. Paced to finish: the second half went 6:42 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:45 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
