The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Maastricht 2026, Ricky Breidel crossed the line in 1:13:24: 55th of 394 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 91% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 71% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:59 on the median. Time in the roxzone, 5:30, was faster than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:47 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
