The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Gent 2025, Bastien Jacquet crossed the line in 1:21:23: 610th of 1,428 men, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 46% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:18 quicker than the median and 207th of 1,428. A harder second half: 1:43 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Gent ran fast: the 938 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:26 quicker here than at their other races.
