The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Renning Elischer won the 30–34 age group at Mechelen 2026 in 57:17, first of 167.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 12th of 747. Stronger after halfway: 2:15 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:53, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Katowice 2026 were 2:17 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
