The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:12:47 at Birmingham 2025 put Jacob Champion 261st of 1,600 men in the Open division, ahead of 84% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 93% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 69% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:08 quicker than the median and 269th of 1,600. A harder second half: 2:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
