The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Christian Dickenson crossed the line in 1:06:47: 76th of 677 men, faster than 89% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:53 quicker than the median and 68th of 677. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:11 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:51, was faster than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
