The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Gent 2025, Marouane Lakbach crossed the line in 1:11:30: 179th of 1,428 men, faster than 88% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:05 quicker than the median and 35th of 1,428. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:02 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Gent 2025 and Utrecht 2025 were 4:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
