The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Andrew Atkinson finished 400th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:28:26.
The stations carried this race: faster than 54% of the field across all eight, against 29% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:59 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 0:47 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 2:34 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
