The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Quinten Van Tendeloo crossed the line in 1:17:31: 211th of 561 men, faster than 62% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 40% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:20 on the median. The sled pull cost the most time: 0:47 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
