The race, in words
Jason Bouckaert finished 986th of 1,428 men in the Open division at Gent 2025, in 1:30:57.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 2:23. The race faded late: the second half went 5:51 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Gent ran fast: the 938 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:26 quicker here than at their other races.
