The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sander Tax finished 246th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:15:53, faster than 67% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:16 on the median. A harder second half: 1:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Frankfurt 2025 were 5:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
