The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Michael Birchall finished 937th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:25:24.
Legs and stations told different stories: 62% of the field beaten on the runs, 39% on the stations. The farmers carry cost the most time: 1:01 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
