The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Cory Rose finished 492nd of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:18:13, faster than 64% of the field.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:38 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 3:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
