The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Dan Harding crossed the line in 1:14:29: 337th of 1,600 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:21 quicker than the median and 434th of 1,600. A harder second half: 1:13 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.
