The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Parker finished 151st of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:14:01, faster than 78% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:27 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:44 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
