The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2025, Sam Hammond crossed the line in 1:16:31: 638th of 1,917 men, faster than 67% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 87% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 43% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 1:53 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:53 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London 2025 and London 2024 were 5:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
