The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Laura McCarthy crossed the line in 1:25:37: 148th of 493 women, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:30 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:35 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
