The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lobna Benchiri-Habeeb finished 551st of 552 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 3:17:58.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 19:22. A harder second half: 25:57 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 14:47, behind 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
