The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Kasper Nelis crossed the line in 1:22:42: 175th of 401 men, faster than 56% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 65% of the field across all eight, against 43% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:18 quicker than the median and 38th of 401. Stronger after halfway: 2:58 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 5:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
