The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Aiden Mcateer crossed the line in 1:09:32: 63rd of 359 men, faster than 83% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:19 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:34 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:48, ahead of 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
