The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Glasgow 2025, David Cairns crossed the line in 1:09:56: 208th of 1,588 men, faster than 87% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 95% of the field beaten on the stations, against 70% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:48 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:10 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 3:02 faster at Glasgow 2025 than at Manchester 2024, a quicker course than most.
