The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Boston 2026, Kristina Balfoort crossed the line in 1:31:57: 135th of 452 women, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:47 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:19 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Boston 2026 and Boston 2025 were 1:30 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
