The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Natasha De Craecker finished 459th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:38:14.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 25% on the runs. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:50 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Belgium 2025 were 2:47 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
