The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Claire Wesson finished 99th of 400 women in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:24:44, faster than 75% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:59 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:10 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
