The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London 2024, Joshua Thornton crossed the line in 1:18:26: 489th of 1,637 men, faster than 70% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 82% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 55% on the stations. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:19 of the median.
Athletes who raced both London 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 2:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
