The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Jelle den Otter crossed the line in 1:20:52: 413th of 1,192 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:09 quicker than the median and 175th of 1,192. A harder second half: 2:59 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 7:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
