The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Thibaud Verté crossed the line in 1:18:06: 524th of 1,620 men, faster than 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 84% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:19 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:59 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.
