The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Dupire finished in the top 10% of the field at Mechelen 2026, in 1:06:19 for 62nd of 747 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:34 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Bordeaux 2025 were 5:37 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
