The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Kiall Gormley crossed the line in 1:18:30: 267th of 677 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 76% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 51% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:12 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:52 better 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.
