The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Rotterdam 2026, Bas De ruiter crossed the line in 1:21:24: 433rd of 1,192 men, faster than 64% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 78% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:55 on the median. The sled push cost the most time: 0:39 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Heerenveen 2025 were 4:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
