The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Matthijs Kleijn crossed the line in 1:19:47: 321st of 747 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:22 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
