The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Justin Tigges finished 253rd of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:12:11, faster than 81% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 93% of the field across all eight, against 58% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:03 on the median. A harder second half: 1:06 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2024 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
