The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nicholas Nicholas finished 426th of 646 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:30:37.
A station race more than a running one: 47% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:49 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
