The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lois Liem finished 227th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:26:31, faster than 71% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 78% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 56% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:21 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 7:17, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 1:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
