The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joey Butter finished 422nd of 457 men in the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:33:52.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:19 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:04 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 10:00 in the roxzone was slower than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
