The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Christian Lawlor crossed the line in 1:22:31: 238th of 529 men, faster than 55% of the field.
The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 3:20 ahead of the median. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 1:00 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 1:03 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
