The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Sophie Jones crossed the line in 1:17:52: 64th of 545 women, faster than 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:18 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:17 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
