The race, in words
In the Open division at Mechelen 2026, Linda Dhifallah crossed the line in 1:33:42: 372nd of 776 women, faster than 52% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 66% of the field beaten on the stations, against 42% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:22 quicker than the median and 133rd of 776. The race faded late: the second half went 1:50 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Mechelen ran fast: the 665 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 2:17 quicker here than at their other races.
