The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Michael Hilton crossed the line in 1:13:36: 176th of 677 men, faster than 74% of the field.
The sled pull was the standout, 0:51 quicker than the median and 127th of 677. The race faded late: the second half went 1:00 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
