The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Heerenveen 2026, Megan van der Spek crossed the line in 1:20:57: 71st of 427 women, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 96% of the field beaten on the stations, against 71% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:06 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Heerenveen 2026 and Rotterdam 2025 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
