The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Edmund Hunt finished 470th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:30:17.
The stations carried this race: faster than 45% of the field across all eight, against 23% on the runs. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 1:29. A harder second half: 1:01 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
