The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nikki Hesford finished 213th of 280 women in the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:33:55.
A station race more than a running one: 49% of the field beaten on the stations, against 10% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 0:56 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:26 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:53 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
