The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Craig Brown finished 498th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:18:35, faster than 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 73% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:31 quicker than the median and 314th of 1,442. Stronger after halfway: 1:30 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Barcelona 2026 were 1:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
