The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Kathryn Smith finished 687th of 887 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:46:40.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 6:35 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:21 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
