The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:14:31 at Birmingham 2025 put Ricky Bonser 340th of 1,600 men in the Open division, ahead of 79% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 89% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 64% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:04 quicker than the median and 296th of 1,600. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
