The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Thijs Vermeulen finished 210th of 394 men in the Open division at Maastricht 2026, in 1:28:16.
A station race more than a running one: 62% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:11 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:58 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:47 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
