The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Claire Devitt crossed the line in 1:25:02: 153rd of 545 women, faster than 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 82% of the field beaten on the stations, against 54% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:18 quicker than the median and 47th of 545.
Birmingham ran fast: the 1,285 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:21 quicker here than at their other races. 3:42 slower than at Dublin 2024, the previous Open race.
