The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:28:29 at London Excel 2025 put Simon Oakden 1,746th of 2,771 men in the Open division.
The stations carried this race: faster than 55% of the field across all eight, against 21% on the runs. A harder second half: 3:21 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
