The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Helen Sherfield crossed the line in 1:26:42: 633rd of 1,542 women, faster than 59% of the field.
Paced to finish: the second half went 1:52 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
