The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Shepley finished 375th of 466 men in the Open division at Cardiff 2026, in 1:39:16.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 5:23 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:11 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Manchester 2026 were 3:29 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
