The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Micha Groeneveld crossed the line in 1:14:13: 318th of 1,363 men, faster than 77% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 90% of the field across all eight, against 65% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:14 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
