The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Chicago 2025, Brandon Kirby crossed the line in 1:18:18: 278th of 1,621 men, faster than 83% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 93% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 65% on the stations. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:51 quicker than the median and 189th of 1,621. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:08 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Chicago 2025 and Houston 2025 were 2:08 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
