The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2025, Joseph Shiner crossed the line in 1:24:30: 748th of 1,600 men, faster than 53% of the field.
The sled push was the standout, 0:40 quicker than the median and 345th of 1,600. On the farmers carry the field had the edge, by 2:11. The race faded late: the second half went 1:36 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Cardiff 2025 were 2:36 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
