The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jonas Blancke finished 291st of 561 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:21:19.
The stations carried this race: faster than 62% of the field across all eight, against 34% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:50 quicker than the median and 155th of 561. Stronger after halfway: 1:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
