The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Marinus van de Wetering crossed the line in 1:21:46: 660th of 1,363 men, faster than 52% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 70% of the field across all eight, against 34% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:19 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:24 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
