The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:23:00 at Birmingham 2026 put Chris Owen 638th of 1,442 men in the Open division, ahead of 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 27% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 2:30 quicker than the median and 110th of 1,442. Stronger after halfway: 4:15 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.
