The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:26 at Rotterdam 2026 put Ruben van de Water 653rd of 1,192 men in the Open division.
The runs carried this race: faster than 58% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 37% on the stations. The farmers carry cost the most time: 1:13 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:55 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Rotterdam 2026 and Rotterdam 2025 were 4:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
