The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Manchester 2026, Adam Kavanagh crossed the line in 1:19:44: 206th of 551 men, faster than 63% of the field.
Legs and stations told different stories: 69% of the field beaten on the runs, 49% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 1:11 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:31 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Manchester 2026 and Glasgow 2025 were 1:52 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
