The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2026, Beth Thompson crossed the line in 1:30:34: 125th of 318 women, faster than 61% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 72% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 0:54 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:01 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Glasgow 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 2:05 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
