The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Ellie Balfe crossed the line in 1:22:13: 130th of 552 women, faster than 76% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:08 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
