The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Karen Gunn-Smith finished 295th of 315 women in the Open division at Rome 2025, in 1:57:42.
A station race more than a running one: 50% of the field beaten on the stations, against 3% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:35 slower than the median. A harder second half: 27:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
23:00 slower than at London 2024, the previous Open race.
