The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Nick Emes crossed the line in 1:22:22: 307th of 646 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:23 quicker than the median and 174th of 646. Stronger after halfway: 2:54 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
