The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Maarten Niggebrugge crossed the line in 1:17:27: 485th of 1,620 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:56 quicker than the median and 388th of 1,620. A harder second half: 1:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
