The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:57 at Manchester 2026 put Joel Matthews 92nd of 551 men in the Open division, ahead of 83% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:27 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:04 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
