The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2026, Matt Hind crossed the line in 1:22:31: 632nd of 1,442 men, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 67% of the field beaten on the stations, against 43% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:55 quicker than the median and 226th of 1,442. Stronger after halfway: 1:16 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
