The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nathan Bridger finished 1,556th of 1,821 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2025, in 1:44:39.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 6:37 worse against the middle of the field than the first. 9:09 in the roxzone was slower than 87% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and Manchester 2024 were 3:26 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
