Legends Backyard Belgium

Between loop 61 and 71, and again this morning, the Backyard has claimed more runners.

Six athletes, from different countries, saw their race come to an end. Every single one of them managed to improve their personal best, which says everything about the level and determination out here.

And for Verneri, the race brought something even more, as a new national Finnish record was set before making the difficult but wise decision to stop due to injury.
A reminder that in a Backyard, knowing when to stop is sometimes just as important as knowing how to continue.

Only 12 runners remain.
Twelve athletes still standing.
Twelve stories still unfolding.

From here on, every loop matters even more.Every decision carries weight and the margins become razor thin.
