The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Colin Hoedeman finished 1,155th of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:39:01.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 4% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:52 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:02 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2024 were 5:20 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
