The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Maastricht 2026, Maxime Verhaegen crossed the line in 1:10:22: 125th of 1,119 men, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 2:03 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:18 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:45, ahead of 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Berlin 2026 were 1:28 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
