The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Mark Curran crossed the line in 1:17:56: 480th of 1,600 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:54 on the median. The sled pull cost the most time: 0:37 slower than the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 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.
