The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Jason Smith finished 1,204th of 1,600 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:36:50.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:29 behind the median. A harder second half: 2:48 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
