The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Brad Smith finished 1,057th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:37:50.
The runs carried this race: faster than 39% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 18% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:51 behind the median. The roxzone cost time: 10:10, behind 95% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Gdansk 2026 were 1:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
