The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Rotterdam 2026, Nick Van Ommen crossed the line in 1:06:50: 39th of 348 men, faster than 89% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:14 quicker than the median and 51st of 348. Stronger after halfway: 2:48 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:32, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:23 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
