The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:28 at Birmingham 2026 put Steve McGuire 224th of 359 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 22% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:51 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
