The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:24:49 at Amsterdam 2026 put Kaj Merkelbag 879th of 1,620 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 0:42 quicker than the median and 304th of 1,620. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 7:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
