The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Monro-Jones finished 457th of 613 men in the Open division at Glasgow 2026, in 1:38:11.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:37. A harder second half: 3:10 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.
