The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Marwan Bensaid crossed the line in 1:14:06: 145th of 561 men, faster than 74% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 0:51 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:53 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
