The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Jonny Blackwell crossed the line in 1:23:26: 406th of 897 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 39% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:33 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:51 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 5:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
