The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Greg Nichols finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:09:07 for 70th of 693 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:36 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:58 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:59, ahead of 89% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Oslo 2026 were 3:48 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
