The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rhys Wilkinson finished 1,283rd of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:33:18.
The stations carried this race: faster than 49% of the field across all eight, against 21% on the runs. On the sled push the field had the edge, by 1:02. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:58 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 3:43 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
