The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jarred Goossens finished 824th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:25:57.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:53 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 4:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
