The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Martin Gul crossed the line in 1:24:56: 248th of 570 men, faster than 57% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 86% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 52% on the stations. A harder second half: 5:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 12:31 in the roxzone was slower than 96% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
