The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Sammy Williams crossed the line in 1:24:24: 140th of 547 women, faster than 74% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 3:04 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.
