The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Amsterdam 2026, Elke Horvers crossed the line in 1:28:25: 447th of 1,122 women, faster than 60% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 75% of the field beaten on the runs, 40% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:49 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:44 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Amsterdam 2026 and Heerenveen 2025 were 4:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
