The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Darren Bloor crossed the line in 1:07:56: 154th of 1,442 men, faster than 89% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:44 quicker than the median and 262nd of 1,442. Time in the roxzone, 5:01, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
