The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nick Wilkes finished 157th of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:17:03, faster than 70% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:45 quicker than the median and 95th of 529. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:53 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.
