The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Théo Jacob-Paquay finished 72nd of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:09:22, faster than 87% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:04 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:54, ahead of 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 4:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
