The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joseph Cox finished 340th of 613 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:28:00.
The stations carried this race: faster than 65% of the field across all eight, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:02 on the median. A harder second half: 2:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:27 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
