The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kellie Higgins finished 572nd of 887 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:38:30.
A station race more than a running one: 61% of the field beaten on the stations, against 23% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:11 on the median. A harder second half: 4:05 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Birmingham ran fast: the 1,285 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:21 quicker here than at their other races.
