The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Adam Marshall finished 63rd of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:09:42, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 2:15 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:41 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
