The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Rees finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2025, in 1:06:53 for 105th of 1,600 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:57 quicker than the median and 41st of 1,600. Quick through the roxzone: 5:13, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
