The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Rush finished 1,548th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:24:44.
A station race more than a running one: 54% of the field beaten on the stations, against 32% on the runs. The farmers carry was the standout, 0:44 quicker than the median and 32nd of 2,779. A harder second half: 1:47 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 4:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
