The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, James Davies crossed the line in 1:17:46: 140th of 359 men, faster than 61% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:41 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
