The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Bas Meusen finished 878th of 1,119 men in the Open division at Maastricht 2026, in 1:39:41.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 3:22. A harder second half: 3:45 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.
