The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:17:51 at Birmingham 2025 put Mark Donoghue 477th of 1,600 men in the Open division, ahead of 70% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 79% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 57% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled push, 0:44 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:45 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
