The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Pieter Velings finished 421st of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:16:47, faster than 69% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 76% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 54% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 0:33 on the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:05.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 8:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
