The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Harm Van Wijngaarden crossed the line in 1:09:42: 115th of 747 men, faster than 85% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:06 quicker than the median and 31st of 747. Stronger after halfway: 1:14 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Stockholm 2025 were 3:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
