The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Peter Penasse finished 762nd of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:24:35.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 31% on the runs.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 4:31 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
