The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jean-Benoit Demelenne finished 298th of 394 men in the Open division at Maastricht 2026, in 1:36:29.
The stations carried this race: faster than 44% of the field across all eight, against 19% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:02 slower than the median. A harder second half: 1:39 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway 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.
