The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Daniel Hunt finished 390th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:25:49.
The runs carried this race: faster than 54% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 33% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:43 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:35 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:35 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
