The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Daniel McDonald crossed the line in 1:08:17: 156th of 1,463 men, faster than 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:48 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 3:03 better against the middle of the field than before it. Time in the roxzone, 3:40, was faster than 93% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:07 slower here, so the course was tougher than the clock suggests.
