The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:17:43 at Birmingham 2026 put Mark Smith 463rd of 1,442 men in the Open division, ahead of 68% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:10 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Olympia 2026 were 1:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
