The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Manchester 2026, Ethan Taylor crossed the line in 1:13:43: 52nd of 121 men, faster than 57% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:49 on the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the farmers carry, 0:36 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 2:49 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
