The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Bill Caulton crossed the line in 1:08:11: 50th of 359 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 97% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 71% on the stations. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:35 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 4:38, was faster than 90% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Rome 2026 were 3:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
