The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Connor finished 62nd of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:09:25, faster than 88% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 3:19 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:40 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
