The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lauren Williams finished 531st of 887 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:36:23.
The stations carried this race: faster than 57% of the field across all eight, against 25% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:45 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:20 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
