The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Roberts finished 439th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:28:57.
The burpee broad jumps cost the most time: 2:01 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:34 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
