The race, in words
1:01:05 at Manchester 2026 won the 40–44 age group for Simon Courtney, first of 87.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 2:36 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 4:25 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:10, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
