The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Chris Hunton finished 123rd of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:14:48, faster than 77% of the field.
The stations carried this race: faster than 94% of the field across all eight, against 60% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were the standout, 2:48 quicker than the median and 12th of 529. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:44 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.
