The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ysbrand Van zanten finished 864th of 1,119 men in the Open division at Maastricht 2026, in 1:38:33.
A station race more than a running one: 39% of the field beaten on the stations, against 16% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:01 better against the middle of the field than the first. 10:34 in the roxzone was slower than 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Maastricht 2026 and Heerenveen 2026 were 1:26 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
