The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Sion Bowen finished 564th of 693 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:39:37.
If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 4:30 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:20 worse 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.
