The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Hugo Houtepen finished 1,158th of 1,620 men in the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:31:24.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:39 quicker than the median and 500th of 1,620. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:54 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Gent 2025 were 3:01 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
