The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Thijs Van Der Helm crossed the line in 1:18:58: 213th of 608 men, faster than 65% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:52 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:14 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Rotterdam 2025 were 4:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
