The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Belgium 2025, Sam Hoedemaekers crossed the line in 1:15:42: 364th of 1,638 men, faster than 78% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:26 quicker than the median and 120th of 1,638. Stronger after halfway: 1:00 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Belgium 2025 and Amsterdam 2022 were 5:15 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
