The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Joshua Thornton crossed the line in 1:20:04: 551st of 1,442 men, faster than 62% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:42 quicker than the median and 450th of 1,442.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
