The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Matthew Harwood finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 1:07:02 for 135th of 1,442 men in the Open division.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:15 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:31 better against the middle of the field than the first. Quick through the roxzone: 4:47, ahead of 91% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
