The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Keegan Rees-Bradley crossed the line in 1:21:20: 310th of 693 men, faster than 55% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 85% of the field beaten on the runs, 38% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 0:53 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:57 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
