The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Vince Nardten finished 491st of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:18:12, faster than 64% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 230th 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.
