The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Benjamin Van Der Velde finished 513th of 1,103 men in the Open division at Hamburg 2026, in 1:26:04, faster than 54% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:05 quicker than the median and 243rd of 1,103. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:18 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:46 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Hamburg 2026 and Warsaw 2026 were 1:57 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
