The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Veronique De Liege finished 348th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:32:38, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 72% of the field beaten on the stations, against 47% on the runs. The sled pull was the standout, 1:00 quicker than the median and 116th of 776. The race faded late: the second half went 3:58 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 1:18 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
