The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Emily Van Aerschot finished 598th of 776 women in the Open division at Mechelen 2026, in 1:47:11.
The runs carried this race: faster than 40% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 20% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 2:57. 11:52 in the roxzone was slower than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Maastricht 2025 were 5:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
