The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Pickford finished 199th of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:09:11, faster than 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 80% of the field beaten on the stations, against 57% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:30 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
