The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Michael Higgins crossed the line in 1:13:53: 113th of 529 men, faster than 79% of the field.
The wall balls were where this race was made, 2:11 ahead of the median. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 0:53. Paced to finish: the second half went 4:19 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
