The race, in words
Will Abbatt finished 125th of 193 men in the Pro division at Manchester 2026, in 1:19:24.
A station race more than a running one: 44% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 0:42 quicker than the median and 42nd of 193. A harder second half: 1:50 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Manchester cost the whole field time: about 1:56 more than the average race this season, going by 330 athletes who raced both. 9:50 faster than at Birmingham 2025, the previous Pro race.
