The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Sydney 2025, Keir Ballantyne crossed the line in 1:10:38: 266th of 1,587 men, faster than 83% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 64% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:03 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 6:19, was faster than 95% of the field.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Sydney gained about 1:48.
