The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Manchester 2026, Chris Pickford crossed the line in 1:13:35: 58th of 130 men, faster than 55% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 74% of the field beaten on the stations, against 35% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 1:58 quicker than the median and 17th of 130. Stronger after halfway: 3:02 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Manchester ran slow: the 330 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:56 slower here than at their other races.
