The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Amsterdam 2026, Niels Van Ancum crossed the line in 1:11:05: 42nd of 107 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:00 quicker than the median and 26th of 107. A harder second half: 1:11 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Utrecht 2025 were 4:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
