The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Bransby finished 1,075th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:32:50.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 1:39. The race faded late: the second half went 1:56 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2025 were 3:11 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
