The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Evelien Mertens finished 72nd of 139 women in the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:17:34.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 0:48 ahead of the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 1:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
