The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Katie Taylor crossed the line in 1:20:21: 101st of 552 women, faster than 82% of the field.
The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:19 ahead of the median. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:44. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:32 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 4:41 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
