The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2024, Ben Brereton crossed the line in 1:09:21: 188th of 1,206 men, faster than 84% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 96% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 62% on the stations. Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 0:46 on the median. A harder second half: 1:37 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2024 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:14 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
