The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Joshua Walker crossed the line in 1:22:15: 623rd of 1,442 men, faster than 57% of the field.
The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:03 ahead of the median. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 4:36. The race faded late: the second half went 5:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
