The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jeni Smith finished 301st of 829 women in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:27:22, faster than 64% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 81% of the field beaten on the stations, against 48% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 1:51 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:14 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Berlin 2025 were 1:37 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
