The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Scott Fletcher finished 397th of 456 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:44:12.
The stations carried this race: faster than 52% of the field across all eight, against 6% on the runs. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:38 better against the middle of the field than the first. 7:49 in the roxzone was slower than 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
