The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, Jérôme Bureau crossed the line in 1:09:46: 162nd of 457 men, faster than 65% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:52 quicker than the median and 49th of 457. Stronger after halfway: 1:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 3:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
