The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Quincy Van Aerde finished 1,036th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:33:04.
Legs and stations told different stories: 44% of the field beaten on the runs, 14% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 5:19 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2024 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
