The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2025, Paul Gravatt crossed the line in 1:20:33: 852nd of 1,917 men, faster than 56% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:35 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 6:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London gave the field time back: about 1:32 faster than the average race this season, by 1,383 athletes who raced both. That was 2:38 off the time at Malaga 2025.
