The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Craig Hillary finished 253rd of 693 men in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:11:56, faster than 64% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:43 on the median. A harder second half: 1:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
