The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Tom Durno finished 605th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:18:26, faster than 67% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 79% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:33 quicker than the median and 132nd of 1,821. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:14 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.
