The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mark Burns finished 191st of 551 men in the Open division at Manchester 2026, in 1:18:44, faster than 65% of the field.
The wall balls were the standout, 1:12 quicker than the median and 158th of 551. 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 Cardiff 2025 were 2:39 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
