The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Gent 2025, Gemma van der Werff crossed the line in 1:32:39: 481st of 1,009 women, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:29 quicker than the median and 167th of 1,009. A harder second half: 2:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Gent ran fast: the 556 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:32 quicker here than at their other races.
