The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Rhys Foyster finished in the top 10% of the field at Manchester 2026, in 1:05:56 for 37th of 529 men in the Open division.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:30 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:58 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:54, was faster than 89% 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.
