The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:15:52 at Mechelen 2026 put Wilbert van Eijsden 384th of 1,363 men in the Open division, ahead of 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 56% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:57 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:09 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 4:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
