The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Liam Monelle crossed the line in 1:21:58: 613th of 1,442 men, faster than 58% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 74% of the field beaten on the runs, 35% on the stations. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 1:16.
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.
