The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:17:31 at Maastricht 2026 put Richard Proost on the age-group podium: 3rd of 12 in the 50–54 age group.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled push: 0:43 on the median. A harder second half: 1:33 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:24 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
