The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, John-Paul Williams crossed the line in 1:18:52: 518th of 1,600 men, faster than 68% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 78% of the field beaten on the stations, against 52% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:27 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:02 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
