The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Birmingham 2023, Mark Kelly crossed the line in 1:26:27: 537th of 1,182 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 67% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 39% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sled pull, 1:45 behind the median. Time in the roxzone, 4:45, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2023 and Glasgow 2023 were 1:46 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
