The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Alfie Wright crossed the line in 1:19:31: 532nd of 1,442 men, faster than 63% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:28 quicker than the median and 205th of 1,442. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 0:31. Stronger after halfway: 2:14 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
