The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Randy Hondius crossed the line in 1:10:03: 182nd of 1,363 men, faster than 87% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:17 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:06 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
