The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Monty Knight finished 179th of 529 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:18:27, faster than 66% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 79% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 47% on the stations. On the burpee broad jumps the field had the edge, by 1:23. Stronger after halfway: 3:29 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
