The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Guillaume Franquin finished 603rd of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:20:36, faster than 56% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 0:47 quicker than the median and 453rd of 1,363. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:25 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
