The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, Robin Rijlaarsdam crossed the line in 1:15:30: 248th of 966 men, faster than 74% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 62% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:50 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:50 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.
