The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Hendrik Vuerinckx finished 624th of 747 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:39:23.
On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:55. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:35 better against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 13:37, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
