The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Mason Tyler-Smith crossed the line in 1:18:32: 150th of 359 men, faster than 58% of the field.
A remarkably even set of stations, none more than 0:19 from the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
