The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Roger Reid won the 55–59 age group at Birmingham 2026 in 1:15:08, first of 16.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:32 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:56 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:18 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Birmingham gave the field time back: about 1:08 faster than the average race this season, by 374 athletes who raced both. 0:39 slower than at London Excel 2025, the previous Pro race.
