The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Harris won the 45–49 age group at Birmingham 2026 in 1:01:51, first of 153.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:53 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:30 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 4:12, was faster than 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:59 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
