The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Iain Irving won the 40–44 age group at Birmingham 2025 in 1:03:05, first of 75.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 4:52 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:18 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Rotterdam 2025 were 1:12 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
