The race, in three figures
The race, in words
James Davies finished 104th of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:12:50, faster than 81% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 91% of the field beaten on the stations, against 67% on the runs. The wall balls were where this race was made, 1:44 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:03 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.
