The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Lewis Newton crossed the line in 1:22:01: 400th of 913 men, faster than 56% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:02 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:15 better 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.
