The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ross Chaplin finished 1,143rd of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:34:56.
The runs carried this race: faster than 45% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 21% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:08. The race faded late: the second half went 7:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2024 were 3:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
