The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Smith finished 369th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:13:53, faster than 80% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:44 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
