The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bart Van Wensen finished 520th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:30:26.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:18 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:08 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
