The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Richard Marshall crossed the line in 1:15:11: 132nd of 529 men, faster than 75% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:29 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:39 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 4:02, ahead of 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
