The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Simon Winchcombe crossed the line in 1:19:33: 609th of 1,620 men, faster than 62% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 1:10 on the median. A harder second half: 2:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Amsterdam ran fast: the 1,723 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:41 quicker here than at their other races.
