The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Lee Ashurst crossed the line in 1:24:26: 743rd of 1,600 men, faster than 54% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 79% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The sled pull was where this race was made, 1:11 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:16 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
