The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Gregory John crossed the line in 1:09:45: 208th of 1,442 men, faster than 86% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 96% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 74% on the stations. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:19 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:38 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
