The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Charlie Williams crossed the line in 1:11:09: 136th of 677 men, faster than 80% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 59% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:21 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:55 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
