The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dave Jones finished 134th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:11:02, faster than 80% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:23 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:56 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:55, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Mechelen 2026 were 1:20 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
