The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, John Hofwijks crossed the line in 1:11:35: 154th of 747 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:04 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:17 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 6:07, ahead of 88% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
