The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Holmes finished 1,253rd of 1,620 men in the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, in 1:34:52.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 11% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:27 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:37 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Valencia 2025 were 2:58 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
