The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kevin Steeg finished 1,221st of 1,363 men in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:43:44.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 3:09 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:49 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 11:31 in the roxzone was slower than 92% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 6:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
