The race, in three figures
The race, in words
A top 10% finish for Chris Marlow at Birmingham 2026: 1:01:43, 24th of 677 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:14 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:47 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:23, ahead of 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
