The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Ward finished 61st of 130 men in the Pro division at Manchester 2026, in 1:14:04, faster than 53% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 67% of the field beaten on the runs, 42% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:09 behind the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
