The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Simon Bocart crossed the line in 1:12:33: 116th of 561 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 90% of the field across all eight, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:59 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:24 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 8:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
