The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at EMEA London Olympia 2026, Tom Capaldi crossed the line in 1:09:57: 401st of 958 men, faster than 58% of the field.
A harder second half: 1:15 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both EMEA London Olympia 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
