The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Richard Harman crossed the line in 1:08:08: 158th of 1,442 men, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:57 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:47 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 5:02, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 7:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
