The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Heron finished 587th of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:44:26.
On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:28. The race faded late: the second half went 3:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
