The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Tonny van Elferen crossed the line in 1:24:39: 242nd of 570 men, faster than 58% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:18 on the median. A harder second half: 1:38 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Cologne 2025 were 8:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
