The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chad Gullan finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:07:32 for 55th of 646 men in the Open division.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:30 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:06 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:01, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
