The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Storey finished 148th of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:16:26, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:46 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
