The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Agg finished 722nd of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:25:04.
A station race more than a running one: 60% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:53 on the median. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:39.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 1:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
