The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Johnny Keenan crossed the line in 1:12:19: 274th of 1,442 men, faster than 81% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:16 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:48 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
