The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Pieter Op De Beeck finished 338th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:14:40, faster than 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:21 quicker than the median and 201st of 1,363.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
