The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:18:27 at Manchester 2026 put Matty Earlam 180th of 529 men in the Open division, ahead of 66% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 87% of the field beaten on the stations, against 50% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 3:35 ahead of the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:07 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Manchester 2024 were 2:38 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
