The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Martijn Kerver crossed the line in 1:17:58: 507th of 1,620 men, faster than 69% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 86% of the field beaten on the stations, against 41% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:36 on the median. A harder second half: 2:19 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.
