The race, in words
Jack Gladney finished 370th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:25:16.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 25% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:01 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:37 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham ran fast: the 2,261 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:12 quicker here than at their other races. 7:48 slower than at Warsaw 2026, the previous Open race.
