The race, in words
1:33:08 at Maastricht 2026 put Steff Leys 764th of 1,119 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 0:35. The race faded late: the second half went 2:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 1:47 slower at Maastricht 2026 than at Mechelen 2026, which makes this time better than it looks.
