The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Steve Sturrock finished 754th of 1,442 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:26:18.
The runs carried this race: faster than 72% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 24% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 3:07 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:41 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 2:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
