The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2025, Joe Bignell crossed the line in 1:20:47: 863rd of 1,917 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 1:08 quicker than the median and 425th of 1,917. On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 0:57. The race faded late: the second half went 2:35 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London 2025 and Sports Direct HYROX London 2024 were 4:07 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
