The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Ben Need crossed the line in 1:12:22: 594th of 2,779 men, faster than 79% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:19 on the median.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2024 were 5:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
