The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Arno Herssens finished 123rd of 348 men in the Pro division at Rotterdam 2026, in 1:16:16, faster than 65% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:10 on the median. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:30 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:40 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:23 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
