The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Gregory Pepper finished 230th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:17:39, faster than 67% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 75% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:56 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:14 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.
