The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aston Campbell-Kerr finished 793rd of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:27:19.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:16 quicker than the median and 184th of 1,442. A harder second half: 2:34 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Birmingham ran fast: the 2,261 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:12 quicker here than at their other races. 5:13 slower than at Belgium 2025, the previous Open race.
