The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Lee Potts crossed the line in 1:21:01: 217th of 529 men, faster than 59% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 0:58 quicker than the median and 137th of 529. The wall balls cost the most time: 1:34 slower than the median.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
