The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Dan Stolworthy finished 291st of 359 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:37:55.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:17 behind the median. A harder second half: 3:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. 9:06 in the roxzone was slower than 90% of the field.
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.
