The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:17:40 at Amsterdam 2026 put Niels Van der zanden 193rd of 608 men in the Open division, ahead of 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:35 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:30 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Amsterdam 2023 were 7:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
