The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Lee Clayton won the 35–39 age group at Manchester 2026 in 1:01:19, first of 104.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:40 quicker than the median and 2nd of 529. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:25 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:47, was faster than 92% 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.
