The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Pierre Bichet crossed the line in 1:09:31: 112th of 747 men, faster than 85% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:51 quicker than the median and 95th of 747.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
